PRISMATOIDS AND TRUNCATED PRISMS

Solve each problem. Draw the figure whenever deemed necessary.


1. How many cubic inches of lumber does a stick contain if it is 4 in. by 4 in.
at one end, 2 in. by 2 in. at the other end, and 16 ft. long?
2. Determine the volume of a right truncated prism with the following
dimensions: Let the corner of the triangular base be defined by A, B, and
C. the length AB = 10 feet, BC = 9 feet and CA = 12 feet. The sides at A, B
and C are perpendicular to the triangular base and have the height of
8.6 feet, 7.1 feet, and 5.5 feet, respectively.
3. Find the volume of the prismatoid with the given dimensions below: (take
note that the altitude is the distance between the two bases, and 11 feet
is not the altitude of the prismatoid)

4. The volume of a truncated prism is 6240 cubic cm. The base is a right
section in the form of equilateral triangle. The edges perpendicular to the
base are 15 cm, 18 cm, 15 cm long. Find the length of one side of the
base.
