4. Volumes of Prisms and Cylinders

Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 14 Page 834

Use the formula for the volume of the prism.

2040cm^3

Practice makes perfect

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 Cavalieri's Principle, the formula still holds true for oblique prisms. We know that the base area of the prism is 136cm^2 and its height equals 15cm. Let's substitute these values into the formula and solve for V.

V=Bh

B= 136, h= 15

V=( 136) ( 15)

Multiply

V=2040

The volume of the prism is 2040cm^3.
