Question

There is a prism with a pentagonal base the height is 8 cm the area of the pentagonal base is 30.5cm what is the volume of the prism

Answer 1

244 cm³

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Height of the prism with a pentagonal base (h): 8 cm

Area of the pentagonal base (A): 30.5 cm²

Step 2: Calculate the volume of the prism with a pentagonal base

We have a regular pentagonal prism, that is, the 5 sides of the base are equal and we know the area of the base and the height of the prism. We can calculate its volume using the following expression.

V = A × h

V = 30.5 cm² × 8 cm = 244 cm³
