Solution:
Note that:
- Volume of trapezoidal prism: a₁ + a₂/2 x h x l
- a₁ = 6 m
- a₂ = 10 m
- h = 2 m
- l = 9 m
Substitute the values into the formula to obtain the volume.
- a₁ + a₂/2 x h x l
- => 6 + 10/2 x 2 x 9
- => 16/2 x 2 x 9
- => 8 x 2 x 9
- => 144 m³
The volume of this trapezoidal prism is 144 m³.
