Best Answer

No. A trapezoid is a 2-dimensional shape. A prism is a 3-D solid.

A trapezoidal prism has ends in the shape of identical trapezoids, and that is its cross-section.

What is the volume of a trapezoid prism?

The volume of any right prism is the area of the base, in this case a trapezoid, multiplied by the height of the prism. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2h(a + b) where a and b are the bases of the trapezoid (the parallel sides). Once you calculate the area of the trapezoidal base of the prism, multiply that number by its height to get its volume.


What is the number of bases a trapezoid prism has?

A trapezoid prism has 12 edges, 8 vertices, 6 faces and normally its base is at ground level.


Formula for volume of a trapezoidal prism?

the volume of a trapezoidal prism is equal to the height times the base area of the trapezoid. First you find the area of trapezoid h(a+b)/2 h is the height of the trapezoid, not the height of the prism a is the length of the top b is the length of the bottom Then you find the volume of the trapezoidal prism with this formula H*h(a+b)/2 H is the height of the prism. Multiply H by the area of the trapezoid that you found in step one.

Which shape does not belong with the others rectangle square trapezoid or rhombus?

Trapezoid. The rectangle, square, and rhombus are all parallelograms. The Trapezoid is a solid: a prism of trapezium cross-section.


What shape has eight vertices and twelve edges?

Is there a 3-d shape for a trapezoid?

Yes, it is called a Trapezoidal or a Trapezoidal Prism.


How many vertices does a trapezoidal prism have?

A trapezoidal prism has 8 vertices:A trapezoid has 4 vertices.A trapezoidal prism is composed of 2 trapezoids. 2 X 4 = 8.


How many sides does a right trapezoidal prism have?

A right trapezoidal prism has 12 sides. Any prism has three times the number of sides of its cross-sectional shape. A trapezoid has four sides, so a [right] trapezoidal prism has 3 x 4 = 12 sides.


How do you find the volume of a trapezoidal prism?

I think it is area of the trapezoid x height. Sorry if i didnt help. fOR ANY PRISM IT IS THE AREA OF THE BASE (IN THIS CASE A TRAPEZOID) X VERTICAL HEIGHT ( DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO BASES)
