Question

An oblique prism has trapezoidal bases and a vertical height of 10 units. An oblique trapezoidal prism is shown. The trapezoid has base lengths of x and 2 x, and a height of x. The distance between the 2 trapezoid bases is 20. The vertical height of the prism is 10. Which expression represents the volume of the prism? 10x3 cubic units 15x2 cubic units 20x3 cubic units 30x2 cubic units

Answer 1

Answer:

volume of trapezoidal prism = 15x^2 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

First, area of the trapezoidal bases.

Parallel sides measure x and 2x, for an average of 1.5x.

Height = x

Area of trapezoidal base = 1.5x*x = 1.5x^2

Volume of prism = area base * height

(length does not matter, height does)

= 1.5x^2 * 10 = 15x^2

Answer 2

Answer:

1/2x units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Prism has a square base with length

If the volume of prism

We know

Base area
