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.

If you mean volume of a trapezoidal prism then it is: 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height*length
Volume = 1/2*(a+b)*h*l where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides of the trapezium, h is the height of the trapezium, and l is the length of the prism.
It is the area of the trapezoidal face multiplied by the length of the prism.
