  1. The base of a right prism is a trapezium. The length of the parallel sides are 8 cm and 14 cm and the distance between the parallel sides is 8 cm. If the volume of the prism is 1056 cm³, then the height of the prism is
    1. 44 cm
    2. 16.5 cm
    3. 12 cm
    4. 10.56 cm
Correct Option: C

Area of the base =
1
(sum of parallel sides) ×( per-pendicular distance)
2

=
1
(14 + 8) × 8 = 88 sq.cm.
2

∴ Volume = Area of the base × height
⇒ 1056 = 88 × h
→ h =
1056
= 12 cm
88
