The bases of a right prism are parallelograms with length of one of its sides a=8.5 cm and altitude to that side ha = 4 cm. Find the volume of the prism, if the height is h=14 cm.
The prism volume is given by: V = Ab * h Where, Ab: base area h: height The area of the base is: Ab = a * ha Substituting: V = (a * ha) * h V = (8.5 * 4) * 14 V = 476 cm ^ 3 Answer: the volume of the prism is: V = 476 cm ^ 3
