Answer 1

The expression that represents the height of the oblique prism is: 1/2x.

What is the Volume of a Prism?

• The volume of a prism is defined as the total space occupied by the three-dimensional object.
• Mathematically, it is defined as the product of the area of the base and the length.

Prism Volume = base area × height of the prism

Given that the oblique prism has:

Volume = 1/2x³ cubic units

edge length = x units

Therefore,

base area = x²

Thus:

1/2x³ = (x²)(height)

Divide both sides by x²

1/2x³ ÷ x² = height

1/2x³ × 1/x² = height

x³/2 × 1/x² = height

height = x³/2x²

height = x/2

Therefore, the expression that represents the height of the oblique prism is: 1/2x.
