The oblique prism has a height of 6 inches, a width of 2 inches and a length of 7 inches. Find the volume
The volume of an oblique prism is the base area times the height, but you have not specified the shape of the base. If the base is a rectangle, multiply the three numbers.
To find the volume of an oblique prism, we multiply the area of the base by the height.
First, let's find the area of the base. In this case, the base is a rectangle. The formula to find the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width.
Given:
Length = 7 inches
Width = 2 inches
Area of the base = Length × Width = 7 inches × 2 inches = 14 square inches.
Next, let's find the volume of the prism by multiplying the area of the base by the height.
Given:
Height = 6 inches
Area of the base = 14 square inches
Volume of the prism = Area of the base × Height = 14 square inches × 6 inches = 84 cubic inches.
Thus, the volume of the oblique prism is 84 cubic inches.
