Answer :

EXPLANATION:

Given;

We are given the picture of an isosceles trapezoidal prism.

The dimensions are as follows;

[tex]\begin{gathered} Top\text{ }base=4 \\ Bottom\text{ }base=9 \\ Vertical\text{ }height=4.3 \\ Height\text{ }between\text{ }bases=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Required;

We are required to find the volume of this trapezoidal prism.

Step-by-step solution;

The area of the base of a trapezium is given as;

[tex]Area=\frac{1}{2}(a+b)\times h[/tex]

For the trapezium given and the values provided, we now have;

[tex]\begin{gathered} a=top\text{ }base \\ b=bottom\text{ }base \\ h=height \\ Therefore: \\ Area=\frac{1}{2}(4+9)\times4.3 \\ Area=\frac{1}{2}(13)\times4.3 \\ Area=6.5\times4.3 \\ Area=27.95 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The volume is now given as the base area multiplied by the length between both bases and we now have;

[tex]\begin{gathered} Volume=Area\times height\text{ }between\text{ }trapezoid\text{ }ends \\ Volume=27.95\times6 \\ Volume=167.7 \end{gathered}[/tex]

ANSWER:

The volume of the prism is 167.7
