4. Volumes of Prisms and Cylinders

Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 4 Page 834

Use the formula for the volume of the prism.

218.4cm^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 holds true even for oblique prisms. We know that base area of the prism is 42cm^2 and its height is 5.2cm. Let's substitute these values into the formula and solve for V.

V=Bh

B= 42, h= 5.2

V= 42* 5.2

Multiply

V=218.4

The volume of the prism is 218.4cm^3.
