Question

a solid figure that has two identical ends and all flat sides is called a

the formula for calculating the of prisms is ( v = b \times h )

in the formula for the volume of a prism, the letter b stands for the of the base.

the volume of a rectangular prism is found by multiplying its length, , and height.

the volume of a triangular prism can be found by first finding the area of the base triangle and then multiplying it by the of the prism.

Explanation:

• For the first blank: A prism is defined as a solid figure with two identical ends (bases) and all flat sides (lateral faces).
• For the second blank: The formula \(V = B\times h\) is used to calculate the volume of prisms.
• For the third blank: In the volume formula \(V = B\times h\) of a prism, \(B\) represents the area of the base.
• For the fourth blank: The volume formula of a rectangular prism is \(V=l\times w\times h\) (where \(l\) is length, \(w\) is width, \(h\) is height), so the missing term is width.
• For the fifth blank: The volume formula of a triangular prism is \(V = A_{base}\times h\) (where \(A_{base}\) is the area of the base triangle and \(h\) is the height of the prism).

Answer:

1. prism
2. volume
3. area
4. width
5. height
