The lateral edge of the inclined quadrangular prism is 12, and the perpendicular section is a rhombus

The lateral edge of the inclined quadrangular prism is 12, and the perpendicular section is a rhombus with a side of 6 and an angle of 30 degrees. Find the volume of the prism.

Let us determine the area of the perpendicular section of the prism, which is the НKСD rhombus.

Ssection = НK * НD * Sin30 = 6 * 6 * 1/2 = 18 cm2.

The volume of the inclined prism is equal to the product of the length of its lateral edge by the area of the perpendicular section.

V = AA1 * Ssection = 12 * 18 = 216 cm3.

Answer: The volume of the prism is 216 cm3.
