Question

How is the volume of a prism calculated?

Answer 1

Multiply the area of the base by the height

Answer 2

Answer:

C) multiply the area of the base by the height

Step-by-step explanation:

Prism is a three dimensional figures.

The volume of a prism calculated by multiplying the area of the base and  the height.

Volume of a prism = Base area * height.

For example:

Volume of a rectangular prism = base area * height = (lw)*h = lwh cubic units

Volume of a cube = Base area * height = (a*a)*a = a^2*a = a^3 cubic units

Volume of a cylinder = Base area * height = (πr^2)*h = πr^2 h

The answer is C) multiply the area of the base by the height
