Question

What is the volume enclosed by the slanted prism in the diagram? A. 225 cm3 B. 270 cm3 C. 300 cm3 D. 540 cm3

Answer 1

A.

Step-by-step explanation: Took the test and I got it right.

Answer 2

A. 225 cm3

Explanation:

The volume of a slanted prism is defined as the product between the area of its base and its height.

Remember that height is the distance from the top to the bottom, reaching that bottom with a perpendicular angle.

So, in this case, the height is 9 cm, and the area of the base is 25 square centimeter.

This means the volume is

`V=Bh=25cm^(2)(9cm)=225cm^(3)`

Therefore, the right answer is A.
