Question

The base of a hexagonal prism has an area of 96 square inches. The height of the prism is 9 inches. Find the volume of the prism.

Answer 1

The volume of the prism is 864 inches^3.

Explanation:

The basic formula for the volume of a prism is:

V = Ah

where:

V = Volume of prism

A = Area of uniform cross-section or base of prism = 96 inches^2

h = Perpendicular height of prism = 9 inches

Substitute the values given in the question into the formula.

V = 96 × 9

V = 864 inches^3
