Question

The oblique prism has a rectangular base with a width of 10 units and a length of 13 units. The top base extends 8 units to the right of the bottom base. What is the volume of the prism? 1,040 cubic units 1,360 cubic units 1,950 cubic units 2,210 cubic units

Answer 1

Given:
rectangular base: length 13 units ; width 10 units

Area of the base = length * width
Area of the base = 13 units * 10 units
Area of the base = 130 square units.

I assumed that the faces of the rectangular prism had the same width and length. So, the height would be 8 units.

Volume of an oblique prism = Area of the Base * height
V = 130 square units * 8 units
V = 1040 cubic units.
