Question

HELP ASAP DUE TOMORROW!!:::A recycle bin is in the shape of a trapezoidal prism. The area of the base is 220 square inches and the height is 24 inches. What is the volume of the recycle bin?

Answer 1

Answer:Steps 4 and 5 are being used to get the equation in step 6.

Steps 5 and 7 are being used to get the equation in step 8.

Steps 8 and 6 are being used to get the equation in step 9.

In step 14, "similar argument" means to draw segment BD and follow the same logic in steps 3-12.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The volume of the recycle bin is
`5,280\ in^(3)`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the trapezoidal prism is equal to

`V=Bh`

where

B is the area of the trapezoidal base of the prism

h is the height of the prism

we have

`B=220\ in^(2)`

`h=24\ in`

substitute the values

`V=(220)(24)=5,280\ in^(3)`
