Question

Explain the formula of a trapezoidal prism

Answer 1

The formula for a trapezoidal prism volume is reported to be 1/2 h(a + b)l. Within this equation the letter A represents the length of the top, the letter B represents the length of the bottom, the letter H represents the height of the trapezoidal, and l represents the height of the prism. By following this exact mathmatical equation, one will always get accurate results when attempting to find the volume of a trapezoidal prism.

Answer 2

I meant to ask explain the volume of a trapezoidal prism

Answer 3

I just did.

Answer 4

where do I find the trapezoidal part and prism part

Answer 5

What are you talking about?

Answer 6

You want to know how to recognize a trapezoidal prism?

Answer 7

help me understand please if u have the time

Answer 8

Please, be coherent.

Answer 9

like help me understand the volume formula for a trapezoidal prism

Answer 10

I just posted a paragraph explaining how to use the formula. You need to be slightly coherent with what you're saying. Explain, if my first paragraph isn't good enough, then what else do you want to know? Do I need to post it again?

Answer 12

I've done an Internet search for "volume of a trapezoidal prism" and have found the following results (too many!):

Please go back to your post of this volume-of-a-trap-prism problem; I have responded there also.

Answer 13

The following problem is frmo http://www.shmoop.com/basic-geometry/quiz-3-true-false.html:

Answer 14

I've done this problem and judge that the result (answer) given is TRUE. Try this problem yourself (for practice) and see whether you agree or not.

Answer 15

The volume of any prism is the area of the base (B) times the height (h). Since we're talking about a trapezoidal prism, the base is a trapezoid, so the area of the base is (b1 + b2)l/2, where b1 and b2 are the bases of the trapezoid (the parallel sides) and l is the height of the trapezoid (not the height of the entire prism).

Volume of trapezoidal prism = h((b1 + b2)l/2)

Answer 16

there are many explanations online.
