SOLID – ACTIVITY 02

1. A right prism with an octagonal base has a volume of 2085.55 cm 3. If the height of the prism
is 12 cm, find the base edge.
2. A trough has triangular ends. The top of the trough is a horizontal rectangle 50 cm x 80 cm
and the height of the trough is 40 cm. How many liters does it contain when the depth of
water is 30 cm?
3. The volume of a regular pentagonal prism is 6 cm and its bases are 12 cm apart. Find its
volume in cu. cm.
4. A trough has an open top 0.30 m by 6 m and closed vertical ends which are equilateral
triangles 30 cm on each side. It is filled with water to half its depth. Find the volume of the
water in cubic meters.
5. The volume of a truncated prism with an equilateral triangle as its horizontal base is 3600
m3. If the vertical edges at each corner are 4 m, 6 m, and 8 m, respectively, find one side of
the base.
6. A truncated prism has a horizontal base ABC. AB = 30 cm, BC = 40 cm and CA = 50 cm.
The vertical edges through A and C are 18 cm and 27 cm respectively. If the volume of the
prism is 13800 cm3, determine the height of the vertical edge at B.
