The fact that it's a prism has nothing to do with the area of the base. See the attached Related Link for your formula.

What is the volume formula for a pentagonal prism?

Volume = (base area) x height.


Volume of pentagonal prism?

Area of pentagon * length of prism.


How do you find the surface area of a pentagonal prism?

surface area prism = 2 × area end + total area side = 2 × area end + perimeter end × length of prism The information given to you will allow you to work out the area of one pentagonal end, and the perimeter of the pentagonal end.


What is area of prism 5cm 4cm 3cm?

It depends on the prism. Is it a triangular prism, a rectangular prism, a pentagonal prism... etc..


What is the equation for the volume of a pentagonal prism?

Volume = area of pentagon x length of prism.


What is the volume for a pentagonal prism?

Area of Base x Height


What is the formula for a pentagonal prism?

There is no single formula. The answer depends on what the formula is for: the volume, surface area, numbers of faces, edges, vertices and so on. And since you have not bothered to provide that crucial bit of information, I cannot provide a more useful answer.


How do you find the volume of a pentagonal prism?

The cross section area times the height (or length depending on how you look at it). What is the area of the pentagon? how high/long is the prism?


How do you find the lateral area of the pentagonal prism?

1/2*p*w^2*l


Formula for volume of prism?

In general, the formula for the volume of a prism is (if the prism is standing on its end, so that all the vertical sides are rectangles), the area of the base times the height. Now, the area of the base depends upon the shape of the base. It could be triangular. It could be rectangular. It could be trapezoidal. It could be pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, etc. If you were more specific about what kind of prism it was (i.e., the shape of the base), I might be able to provide a more precise formula. But, with what you gave me to work with, the best I can do is the area of the base times the height.


Formula for area of a rectangular prism?

The formula for the area of a rectangular prism is A= 2(wL+hL+hw). A refers to area, w is the width of the prism, h refers to height, and L is the length of the prism.


What is the volume of a right pentagonal prism the perimeter of the base is 60 feet the height of the prism is 10 feet?

There is insufficient information to give an answer. There is no information to indicate that the pentagon is regular and therefore its area is indeterminate. Consequently, the volume of the prism cannot be determined.
