    difference in volume = 26.96h cm³

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The volume of a prism is the product of the base area and the height. A trapezoid prism has a trapezium as the base shape. Therefore,

    volume of a trapezoid prism = area of a trapezium * height

    area of the base (trapezoid) = 140 cm²

    Volume = 140h

    Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

    where

    r = radius

    h = height

    volume = πr²h

    volume = π * 6² * h

    volume = 3.14 * 36 * h

    volume = 113.04h

    To know how much larger the volume of the prism is than the volume of the cylinder we have to take the difference of the volume.

    Recall the height are the same

    difference in volume = 140h - 113.04h

    difference in volume = 26.96h cm³
