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.

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?

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 many times greater is the volume compared to the orgianl prism?

To determine how many times greater the volume of a new prism is compared to the original prism, you need to divide the volume of the new prism by the volume of the original prism. This ratio will give you the factor by which the volume has increased. For example, if the new prism has a volume of 120 cubic units and the original prism has a volume of 30 cubic units, the new prism's volume is 4 times greater.

What is the volume of the prism in cubic inches?

To find the volume of a prism, multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism. The volume is typically expressed in cubic units. So, if the prism is in inches, the volume would be in cubic inches.
