Question

Need Geometry Help!

Answer 1

Volume = base area * height

Answer 2

1. Calculate the area of the base pentagon.

2. Multiply it by height (21 in.)

Answer 3

How do I get the base area?

Answer 4

So do I add or multiply them?

Answer 5

No not like that

Answer 6

Then how?

Answer 7

Try breaking them into triangles

Answer 8

So then I use the area of each triangle and add them together?

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Ok thank you! I will let you know if I have anymore questions!

Answer 11

That doesn't give me the answer either. I calculated the area of each triangle and added them and I got 25. then I multiplied it by 21 and got 525 and that is not a given answer.

Answer 12

@vishweshshrimali5 ??

Answer 13

How did you calculate the area ?

Answer 14

I used the formula leg times leg divided by 2 for each of the triangles and then I added them together. Therefore 5x5/2=12.5+12.5=25

Answer 15

I am on my way home and don't have any pen/copy. So, I would let you know the solution when I reach home :)
