Question

The volume of this trapezoidal prism is `24` cubic units.

What is the area of the prism's base?
SOMEONE PLEASE ANYONE HELP MEEEEEE

Answer 1

`\huge \orange {\boxed{ \sf 3\: sq. \: units}}`

Explanation:

The formula for finding the volume (V) of that prism is V= area of the base times height

Base on the given illustration, the height of the trapezoidal prism is 8 units. So if the volume is 24 cubic units, then the area of the base is :

`\orange{ \sf{volume = \: area \: of \: the \: base \: \cdot \: height}} \\ \green{ \sf{area \: of \: the \: base \: = (volume)/(height)}}`

Area of the base = 24 ÷ 8 = 3

Answer 2

It should be 1000 cm cause 8X5X5=1000 (40X5=200)(200X5=1000 cm square)
