Question

The base of the prism in the diagram is rectangular, but the edges that are not parallel to the base are tilted. What is the volume of the prism?

A. 

216 cm³

B. 

288 cm³

C. 

534 cm³

D. 

648 cm³

E. 

864 cm³

Answer 1

This is an oblique prism - a prism where the sides do not meet the base at a right angle. You will still use the formula l x w x h --> 12 x 9 x 6 = 648 cm^3
