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.

A prism has lateral faces that are perpendicular to the two bases?
Trapezoid
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.
How do you find the volume of a trapezoid?
With great difficulty because a trapezoid is a 2 dimensional shape which has no volume but it does have a surface area.
What is the formula to find volume of a trapezoid?
The trapezoid is a plane figure which has surface Area, but no volume but if there was a 3d figure your equation would be. The Surface Area of a trapezoid = ½(b1+b2) x h X Height of figure.
What is the equation for the volume of a pentagonal prism?
Volume = area of pentagon x length of prism.
Volume of a rectangular prism area of a trapezoid area of a rectangle?
Volume of a rectangular prism= LengthXWidthXHeight Area of a Rectangle= LengthXWidth Area of a Trapezoid= (Bottom+Top)/2)XHeight
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.
Is a trapezoid a prism?
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 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.
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)
How do you find the volume of a rectangluar prism?
Volume of a Rectangular Prism The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
How does the volume of a prism compare to the volume of the pyramid with the same base and height?
The volume of the prism is three times as much as that of the prism.
A prism has lateral faces that are perpendicular to the two bases?
Trapezoid
What 3d shape has 6 faces and it is not a cube?
A trapezoid prism
How do you find the volume of a trapezoid?
With great difficulty because a trapezoid is a 2 dimensional shape which has no volume but it does have a surface area.
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 is the volume of the prism describe how you found the volume?
To find the volume of a prism you first need to know the area of cross section. Then, Volume of prism = area of cross section x length.
