The base of the right prism is a trapezium whose parallel sides are 11 cm and 15 cm and the distance between them is 9 cm. If the volume of the prism is 1731.6 cm3, then the height (in cm) of the prism will be:
The base of the right prism is a trapezium whose parallel sides are 11 cm and 15 cm and the distance between them is 9 cm. If the volume of the prism is 1731.6 cm3, then the height (in cm) of the prism will be: Correct Answer 14.8
Given:
Distance between parallel sides = 9 cm
Volume of the prism = 1731.6 cm3
Formulae Used:
Area of trapezium = (1/2) × (Sum of Parallel side) × distance between parallel sides
The volume of trapezium = Base area of trapezium × height
Calculation:
Area of trapezium = (1/2) × (11 + 15) × 9 × h = (1/2) × 26 × 9 × h = 117 h
Volume of prism = 1731.6
⇒ 117 × h = 1731.6
⇒ h = 1731.6/117
⇒ h = 14.8 cm
