Find the volume of the prism
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
990cm3
B
880cm3
C
550cm3
D
495cm3
Verified Correct Answer: D.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Volume of prism = base area x height
Base area = area of a trapezium = \(\frac{1}{2}(a + b)\times h = \frac{1}{2}(10 + 8)\times 5 = 9 \times 5 = 45cm^2\)
Height = 11cm
Therefore, volume of prism = 45 x 11 = \(495cm^3\)
