Answer: A=5t2 /4 (tan 54)
Explanation
----
The base of a pentagonal prism is a pentagon. To find that area, we start with the general area of a regular polygon. Let abe the apothem and P be the perimeter of the polygon. The area, A=1/2Pa
Now let t be the length of any side of the pentagon and substitute in for the apothem and we have:
A=1/2 x 5t x t/2(tan 54)
or A=5t2 /4 (tan 54)
Volume = (base area) x height.
Area of pentagon * length of prism.
its not i dont no why
Area=Bh when B=area of the base, and h=height of the prism/cylinder
There is no single formula. The answer depends on what the formula is for: the volume, surface area, numbers of faces, edges, vertices and so on. And since you have not bothered to provide that crucial bit of information, I cannot provide a more useful answer.
The fact that it's a prism has nothing to do with the area of the base. See the attached Related Link for your formula.
Volume = (base area) x height.
Area of pentagon * length of prism.
There must be a typo in this question, "Why does the formula for finding the surface area of arectangular prism is helpful?" What does that even mean?
surface area prism = 2 × area end + total area side = 2 × area end + perimeter end × length of prism The information given to you will allow you to work out the area of one pentagonal end, and the perimeter of the pentagonal end.

It depends on what information you have.
It depends on the prism. Is it a triangular prism, a rectangular prism, a pentagonal prism... etc..
Volume = area of pentagon x length of prism.
Area=Bh when B=area of the base, and h=height of the prism/cylinder
Area of Base x Height
I am not sure that a rectangular prism is in any position to care!
