Question

A trapezoidal prism has a height of 8.4 centimeters and volume of 212.52 cubic centimeters. What is the area of the base of the prism

Answer 1

25.3 square centimeters

Explanation:

Volume is a product of surface area and height, expressed as

V=Ah

Where A is area while h is height of the prism.

Making A the subject of the formula then

`A=\frac {V}{h}`

Substituting 212.52 cubic centimeters for V and 8.4 centimeters for h then

`A=\frac {212.52}{8.4}=25.3`

Therefore, the area of the base of prism is 25.3 square centimeters
