Question

What is the volume of this prism

Answer 1

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{\text{A. } 320 cm^3}$

We can begin by finding the area of the base in order to solve for the volume.

Use the formula for the area of a trapezoid:

A = 1/2(b1 + b2)h

Substitute the given values:

A = 1/2(10 + 6)5

A = 1/2(16)5

A = 40 cm²

Multiply by the depth of the prism to solve for the volume:

40 × 8 = 320 cm³
