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.
The parallel sides of a trapezoid are the two bases
The quadrilateral you are describing is a trapezoid. A trapezoid is a four-sided polygon with at least one pair of parallel sides. In the case you mentioned, where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel but of different lengths, it is known as a trapezoid. The parallel sides are referred to as bases, and the non-parallel sides are the legs of the trapezoid.
miley cyrussYes a trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides
Yes. The top and bottom lines of a trapezoid are parallel.
