The volume of the prism is 2400in³

The volume of a prism is generally expressed as;

volume = bh

where b is the base area and h is the height of the prism.

The base of the prism is trapezoid. The area will be area of trapezoid.

Area of trapezoid = 1/2(a+b)h

where a and b are the two non parallel sides.

A = 1/2( 8+12)10

A = 1/2 × 20 × 10

A = 100unit²

Height of the prism = 24in

Therefore , the volume of the prism is

V = 100 × 24

V = 2400 in³
