"The volume of the trapezoidal prism is 1279.152 cubic feet. Determine the height of the trapezoidal base"

( Please include procedures )

Answered by admin @



Answer:

The height of the trapezoidal base is 7.2 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The volume of trapezoidal prism is the area of the cross-section × the length.

V=BH

Where B is the area of base, H is the length and V is the volume.

The length of the prism is 25.2ft and volume is 1279.152

1279.152=B(25.2)

B=50.76

Hence, the base area is 50.76 ft².

The base is trapezoid.

The area of trapezoid is B=\frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h

Substitute B=50.76, b_1=10\ and\ b_2=4.1 in above formula.

50.76=\frac{1}{2}(10+4.1)h

50.76=7.05h

h=7.2

Hence, the height of the trapezoidal base is 7.2 ft.
