How is the volume of a prism calculated?
add the area of the base to the height
subtract the area of the base from the height
multiply the area of the base by the height
divide the area of the base by the height

Respuesta :

Multiply the area of the base by the height

Answer:

C) multiply the area of the base by the height

Step-by-step explanation:

Prism is a three dimensional figures.

The volume of a prism calculated by multiplying the area of the base and  the height.

Volume of a prism = Base area * height.

For example:

Volume of a rectangular prism = base area * height = (lw)*h = lwh cubic units

Volume of a cube = Base area * height = (a*a)*a = a^2*a = a^3 cubic units

Volume of a cylinder = Base area * height = (πr^2)*h = πr^2 h

The answer is C) multiply the area of the base by the height
