Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = 1.72 cm³ (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Side of regular pentagonal prism = 1 cm

Height of regular pentagonal prism = 1 cm

Find:

Volume of regular pentagonal prism

Computtaion:

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = (1/4)[√5(5+2√5)]a²h

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = (1/4)[√5(5+2√5)](1)²(1)

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = (1/4)[√5(5+2√5)]

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = (0.25)[√5{5+4.472}]

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = (0.25)[√5{9.472}]

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = (0.25)[√47.36]

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = (0.25)[6.8818]

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = 1.72045

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = 1.72 cm³ (Approx.)
