Answer:

I just did this, b is incorrect the answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Your volume should come out to equal 4046.6

Volume is a three-dimensional scalar quantity. The volume of the pentagonal prism is 4,046.6 cm³.

What is volume?

A volume is a scalar number that expresses the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface.

The base edge length of the right regular pentagonal prism has a base edge length of 14cm, therefore the area of the base of the pentagonal  prism will be,

[tex]A=\dfrac14\sqrt{5(5+2\sqrt5)a^2}\\\\A= \dfrac14\sqrt{5(5+2\sqrt5)(14)^2}\\\\A = 337.213\rm\ cm^2[/tex]

Also, the height of the prism is 12cm. Therefore, The volume of the pentagonal prism is,

Volume = (Area of the pentagon) × Height

Volume = 337.213cm² × 12cm

Volume = 4,046.556 cm³ ≈ 4046.6 cm³

Hence, the volume of the pentagonal prism is 4,046.6 cm³.
