Problem
The figure below shows a polygon , consisting of rectangles and right triangles. When cut out and folded on the dotted lines, the polygon forms a triangular prism. Suppose that
and
. What is the volume of the prism?
Solution
While imagining the folding, goes on
goes on
and
goes on
So,
and
Also,
becomes an edge parallel to
so that means
Since then
So, the area of
is
If we let
be the base, then the height is
So, the volume is
