Matlab question

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
I have a couple of matlab questions hopefully you guys can help me out

40).The volume of a right prism is base area * vertical_dimension. Find the volumes of the prisms with triangles of problem 29 as their bases, for vertical dimensions of 10.

I don't understand which part of 29 they want me to incorporate. Question 29 reads the area of a triangle s 1/2 base* height define the base of the matrix as b=[2,3,6]

Would I use the area of question 29 as the base area in question 40?


Create a B matrix by extracting the first column of matrix A

I'm trying B= A(1,:)

Thanks for the help guys.

And it doesnt seem to be working..




2. Relevant equations



3. The attempt at a solution

That would be my reading. #29 has a bunch of triangles which are to be used as basis for right-prisms. Probably you should implement the method from #29 for finding the area or a triangle.

In what way?
What does it do instead of what you want?
(Once you have described the problem, the solution should leap out at you.)
