The bases of a right prism are parallelograms with length of one of its sides a=8.5 cm and altitude to that side ha = 4 cm. Find the volume of the prism, if the height is h=14 cm.

The prism volume is given by:

V = Ab * h

Where,

Ab: base area

h: height

The area of the base is:

Ab = a * ha

Substituting:

V = (a * ha) * h

V = (8.5 * 4) * 14

V = 476 cm ^ 3

Answer:

the volume of the prism is:

V = 476 cm ^ 3
