To find the volume of the trapezoid prism, we first need to find the area of the trapezoid base.
The area of a trapezoid can be calculated using the formula:
Area = 1/2 * (sum of the lengths of the parallel sides) * height
In this case, the two parallel sides of the trapezoid base are the top sides, which are 6 yd and 7 yd.
The height of the trapezoid is 3 yd.
Area = 1/2 * (6 + 7) * 3 = 1/2 * 13 * 3 = 19.5 square yards
Next, to find the volume of the prism, we multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism:
Volume = Area of base * height of prism
Volume = 19.5 * 3.5 = 68.25 cubic yards
Therefore, the volume of the trapezoid prism is 68.25 cubic yards.
Find the volume of the prism.
Trapezoid prism with square base= 3yd. Slanted side=4 yd, top sides = 6 yd and 7 yd. Height=3.5 yd
