An oblique prism has trapezoidal bases and a vertical height of 10 units. An oblique trapezoidal prism is shown. The trapezoid has base lengths of x and 2 x, and a height of x. The distance between the 2 trapezoid bases is 20. The vertical height of the prism is 10. Which expression represents the volume of the prism? 10x3 cubic units 15x2 cubic units 20x3 cubic units 30x2 cubic units

30x² cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of an Oblique prism = Base Area × Height

This oblique prism has trapezoidal bases.

Area of a Trapezoid = 1/2 × h × ( b1+b2)

where h = height

b1 and b2 = bases of the Trapezoid.

From the question,

h = 20

b1 = x

b2 = 2x

Area of the Trapezoid =

1/2 × x ×( x + 2x)

1/2 × x × (3x)

3x²/2 square units.

Remember, the volume of an Oblique prism = Base Area × Height

Height of the prism = The distance between the 2 trapezoid bases = 20 units.

Base Area = 3x²/2 square units × 20 units

= 30x² cubic units
