Question

A pentagonal prism has two congruent bases. The area of each pentagon is 15 square meters. The height of the prism is 6 meters. Find the volume of the prism.

Answer 1

Answer: The volume of the prism is 90 cubic meters.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Volume of a pentagonal prism (V): area of the pentagonal base x height of the prism

Replacing with the values given:

V = 15 m2 x 6 m = 90 m3

The volume of the prism is 90 cubic meters.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer 2

90 cubic meters

Explanation:

Volume of a Prism=Base Area X Height

Since the base is a pentagon and;

• Area of each pentagon is 15 square meters.
• Height =6 meters

Volume of the pentagonal prism =15 X 6

=90 cubic meters
