Question

The bases of a right prism are parallelograms with length of one of its sides a=8.5 cm and altitude to that side ha = 4 cm. Find the volume of the prism, if the height is h=14 cm.

Answer 1

The prism volume is given by:
V = Ab * h
Where,
Ab: base area
h: height
The area of the base is:
Ab = a * ha
Substituting:
V = (a * ha) * h
V = (8.5 * 4) * 14
V = 476 cm ^ 3
Answer:
the volume of the prism is:
V = 476 cm ^ 3
