C. \(V = B^{*}h\) (assuming \(^{*}\) is a multiplication symbol, the correct formula is \(V = Bh\) where \(B\) is the base area and \(h\) is the height of the prism)
Question
what is the formula for the volume of a prism? options: v = ph; v = (1/3)ph; v = bh; v = (1/3)bh
Solution Steps
-
Understand the question
what is the formula for the volume of a prism? options: v = ph; v = (1/3)ph; v = bh; v = (1/3)bh
-
Brief Explanations
The volume of a prism is calculated by multiplying the area of the base (\(B\)) by the height (\(h\)) of the prism. The formula is \(V = B\times h\) (or \(V = B\cdot h\) or \(V = Bh\)). The other options either use the perimeter (\(P\)) which is incorrect for the base area, or include a \(\frac{1}{3}\) factor which is for pyramids (not prisms).

Final answer
C. \(V = B^{}h\) (assuming \(^{}\) is a multiplication symbol, the correct formula is \(V = Bh\) where \(B\) is the base area and \(h\) is the height of the prism)
