You need to know the area of that cross-section. Once you have that number,
the volume of the box is the product of (cross-section area) x (height).
length = volume/cross-section
find the area of the cross section then multiply by the other dimension (length, height, whatever you are calling it) Area of a parallelogram is base x height, area of a kite might need to be broken into triangles then added together.
For a cylinder, the cross section is a circle, so the area will be pi r2 (r is the radius of the cylinder). The volume therefore will be V = pi r2h where h is the height of the cylinder.
There is no relationship, in the sense that you can have any base are with any height. For a prism shape (if the horizontal cross section is always the same as the base), the base area times the height is equal to the volume.
The answer depends on what you mean by a trapezoidal trough. Is it a trough whose cross-section is a rectangle at any height but which increases linearly with the height or is it a trough whose base and each face is a trapezium.
Multiply the cross-section area by the height.
Volume = cross-section area*height
The area of the cross section times the height of the prism
It is possible, depending on what you do know. If you have the radius, you can work out the cross sectional area. Measure the volume - by the displacement method. Then volume/cross section = height.
By dividing its cross-section area into its volume
A Uniform Cross Section is the cross section of the solid, parallel to base, such that the resulting figure has the same shape and size as that of the base of the figure.More about Uniform Cross SectionSolids like pyramids and cones have slant heights and hence do not have uniform cross section.Examples of Uniform Cross SectionThe uniform cross section of the given prism is a square.The uniform cross section of the given cylinder is a circle.In short to say, uniform cross-section are when you dissect a 3D solid and you get all same shape (uniform).
just not to confuse you, here is the question more clearer: A prism has a cross section that is a regular hexagon The area of the cross section is 10.4m^2. The volume of the prism is 8.84m^2. Calculate the height of the prism.
cross-section area = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height Volume in cubic units = cross-section area*length
There is no weight ratio for height. The weight of an object depends on its the volume and density. The volume depends on the height as well as the average cross section so height, alone, cannot determine weight.
length = volume/cross-section
The volume is pi*r^2*h where r is the radius of the circular] cross section and h is the height (or length).
The volume of a prism is the area of the base (or the cross section of the prism that is perpendicular to the height) times the height.V = Ab * h
