Question

Find the volume of square based right prism whose base is $9$cm and height is $12$cm.

Answer 1

Let $a$ be the side of a square

Given $a=9$ cm and height$\left(h\right)=12$ cm, we have to find its volume.

Area of base of prism $=$ Area of square $=a^2=9^2=81c{m}^2$

We know that, volume of right prism$\left(V\right)=BaseArea\times height$
$\therefore V=B\times h=81\times 12=9^2\times 12=972c{m}^3$.

Hence, volume of square prism is $972c{m}^3$
