The expression that represents the volume of the prism is 30x² cubic units.

Option D) is the correct answer.

What is a prism?

A prism is simply a solid geometric with two polygonal faces laying in parallel planes and with the other faces parallelograms.

Volume of a prism is expressed as;

Volume = base area × height

Also, the base area is expressed using the area of a trapezoid.

Hence,

Base area = (1/2) × h( a + b )

Now, let;

  • h = x
  • a = x
  • b = 2x

Base area will be;

Base area = (1/2) × h( a + b )

Base area = (1/2) × x( x + 2x )

Base area = (1/2) × 3x²

Base area = 3x²/2

Now volume will be;

Volume = base area × height

Volume = 3x²/2 × h

So, let h be 20 units

Volume = 3x²/2 × 20uniit

Volume = 60x²/2

Volume = 30x² cubic units

Therefore, the expression that represents the volume of the prism is 30x² cubic units.

Option D) is the correct answer.
