Answer: The volume of the cardboard container is 516 centimeters cubed.
Explanation: The volume of a pentagonal prism is equal to the area of the base times the height of the pentagonal prism. The area of the base here is 43 centimeters squared and the height of the pentagonal prism is 12 centimeters. So we get 43 multiplied by 12, which equals 516, and the volume of a pentagonal prism is always written in cubes units, so our answer is that the volume of the cardboard container is 516 centimeters cubed.
