To find the volume of a trapezoidal prism, we first need to calculate the area of the trapezoidal bases and the height of the prism.
Area of Base 1 = 1/2 * (3 + 8) * 4.3 = 18.15 square meters
Area of Base 2 = 1/2 * (3 + 4) * 4.3 = 14.45 square meters
Volume = (18.15 + 14.45 + 5 * 4.3) / 2 * 4.3
Volume = (32.6 + 21.5) * 4.3
Volume = 140.55 cubic meters
Therefore, the volume of the trapezoidal prism is 140.6 cubic meters.
Find the volume. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Trapezoidal prism, base 1 sides=3m by 8m, base 2 sides= 3m by 4m. side rectangles=5m by 4m. height=4.3m
