Question

A pentagonal (five-sided) prism has a base area of 50 square cm and a volume of 3000 cubic cm. What is its height?

Answer 1

h=60 cm

Explanation:

-Given a pentagonal prism of base area 50 sq cm and Volume of 3000 cubic cm.

-The volume of an object is calculated by multiplying the base area by the height.

-Let the prism's base area be denoted by A and h to denote height;

`V=Ah`

#Substitute the given values to solve for height;

`V=Ah\\\\3000=50h\\\\h=(3000)/(50)\\\\=60\ cm`

Hence, the prism's height is 60 cm
