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.
