4. Volumes of Prisms and Cylinders

Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 13 Page 834

Use the formula for the volume of the prism.

58.14ft^3

Practice makes perfect

The given solid is a prism.

The volume of a prism can be calculated using the following formula, where B is the area of the base and h is the height. V=Bh By the Cavalieri's Principle, the formula still holds true for oblique prisms. We can see from the diagram that the base area of the prism is 11.4ft^2 and its height equals 5.1ft. Let's substitute these values into the formula and solve for V.

V=Bh

B= 11.4, h= 5.1

V=( 11.4) ( 5.1)

Multiply

V=58.14

The volume of the prism is 58.14ft^3.
