Question

If a hexagonal prism has a volume of 539 cubic meters and is 16 meters tall, find the area of the hexagonal base

Base Area= ___ m^2

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

33 11/16 m² = 33.6875 m²

Explanation:

The volume of a prism is given by ...

V = Bh

where B is the area of the base, and h is the height. Solving for B, we find ...

B = V/h

B = (539 m³)/(16 m) = 33 11/16 m² = 33.6875 m²
