Neal · Answer 1

The volume of the prototype is 200 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate the volume of the pentagonal prism:

Volume (V) = base area x height of the rectangular face

Replacing with the values given and solving for V (volume)

V = 20 in2 x 10 in = 200 cubic inches

The volume of the prototype is 200 cubic inches.
