Example Question #31 : How To Find The Volume Of A Prism

Find the volume of the regular hexagonal prism.

Possible Answers:

2299.41

2327.88

2401.21

2329.05

Correct answer:

2327.88

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.

$\text{Area of Base}=\frac{3\sqrt3}{2}(8)^2=96\sqrt3$

Next, plug in the area of the base and the height to find the volume of the prism.

$\text{Volume of Prism}=96\sqrt3 \times 14=1344\sqrt3=2327.88$

Remember to round to places after the decimal.
