Question

Calculate the volume of each of the following prisms.

1)

length = 35

width = 14

height = 24

2)

length = 27

width = 14

height = 21

3)

length = 21

width = 21

Height = 21

Answer 1

Explanation:

1.) The first shape is a parallelogram like prism, So we use Area of prism= Area of base shape*height

that is, Area of base shape= rectangle,L*B

35*14=490*height

490*24=11760 cm3

2.)A rectangle base prism,

Area of prism= Area of base shape*height

Area of Base shape=27*14

378cm2*21

7938cm3

3.)Square based prism,

Area of prism= Area of base shape*height

=21*21*21 (since all sides are the same)

=9261cm3
