Answer:
area of a trapezoidal base of each prism with heights 6 and 8 units are 4 square units and 3 square units respectively
Explanation:
Let us first be aware of formula of volume for any regular geometrical figure.
Fundamental formula for volume for any regular geometrical figure is.
volume = area of cross section of object* height of object (A)
In the problem stated area of cross section of object will be area of a trapezoidal base.
Given in the question is
Volume of both the trapezoidal prisms = 24 cubic units
*************************************************************************************
For prism with height 6 unit
Substituting the value of height and volume in formula for trapezoidal prisms
24 = 6 * area of a trapezoidal base
=> area of a trapezoidal base = 24/6 = 4 square units
*************************************************************************************
For prism with height 8 unit
Substituting the value of height and volume in formula for trapezoidal prisms
24 = 8 * area of a trapezoidal base
=> area of a trapezoidal base = 24/8 = 3 square units
*************************************************************************************
Therefore area of a trapezoidal base of each prism with heights 6 and 8 units are 4 square units and 3 square units respectively.
