Pentagonal and Hexagonal Prisms Answer Key

This worksheet teaches students how to find the volume of prisms with polygonal bases, specifically pentagons and hexagons. Learners use the provided formulas for each prism type and apply given side lengths, apothems, and heights to calculate total volume. This activity introduces advanced geometric reasoning and reinforces understanding of composite area calculation. Students extend their measurement knowledge beyond standard rectangular forms, linking two-dimensional polygon properties to three-dimensional solids.
