Example Question #21 : How To Find The Volume Of A Prism

Find the volume of the prism.

Possible Answers:

1706

1694

1818

1728

Correct answer:

1728

Explanation:

Recall how to find the volume of any prism.

$\text{Volume of Prism}=\text{Area of Base}\times \text{Height}$

Since the base is a trapezoid, recall how to find the area of a trapezoid.

$\text{Area of Trapezoid}=\frac{base_1+base_2}{2}(\text{height})$

Plug in the given bases and height to find the area of the trapezoid.

$\text{Area of Trapezoid}=\frac{4+14}{2}(12)=108$

Now, plug this in to find the volume of the prism.

$\text{Volume of Prism}=108\times 16 =1728$

Possible Answers:

1998.55

1999.76

1995.32

1991.32

Correct answer:

1995.32

Explanation:

Recall the formula to find the volume of any prism:

$\text{Volume of Prism}=\text{Area of base}\times \text{height}$

Since the base is a regular hexagon, recall how to find the area of a regular hexagon.

$\text{Area of Regular Hexagon}=\frac{3\sqrt3}{2}(\text{side})^2$

Plug in the given side to find the area of the base.
