Here are the answers to the volume worksheet. For the octagonal prism, you have to make a rt. triangle on the octagon by drawing an apothem. The angle in the corner is 67.5 and half of the base will be 5. Once you find the apothem, it's 1/2bh*8 to find the area where b=10 and h is the apothem. Remember, you have to multiply the area of the octagon by the height to find volume. Hope this helps!
