### Geometry Problems

Below are some geometry problems designed to help students practice calculating areas and volumes of various shapes.

#### Problem 44
**Question:**
The area formula for a regular polygon is \( \frac{1}{2}ap \). Find the area of a regular pentagon with side length 15 cm and apothem 10 cm.

**Options:**
- A. 750 cm²
- B. 375 cm²
- C. 900 cm²
- D. 450 cm²

**Explanation:**
Here, \( a = \) apothem = 10 cm,
\( p = \) perimeter = 5 × 15 cm = 75 cm.

Using the formula for the area of a regular polygon:
\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 75 = 375 \, \text{cm}² \]

The correct answer is:
- **B. 375 cm²**

#### Problem 45
**Question:**
Sphere \( B \) has 9 times the surface area of sphere \( A \). How many times the volume of sphere \( A \) is the volume of sphere \( B \)?

**Options:**
- A. 9
- B. \(27\pi\)
- C. \(9\pi\)
- D. 27

**Explanation:**
If Sphere \( B \) has 9 times the surface area of Sphere \( A \), then the ratio of their radii will be \( \sqrt{9} = 3 \). 
The volume ratio will be \(3^3 = 27 \).

The correct answer is:
- **D. 27**

#### Problem 46
**Question:**
Find the area of this trapezoid using \( A = \frac{1}{2}h(b_1 + b_2) \). 

The given dimensions are:
- Height \( h = 9 \, \text{ft} \)
- Base 1 \( b_1 = 7 \, \text{ft} \)
- Base 2 \( b_2 = 11 \, \text{ft} \)

**Explanation:**
Applying the formula to find the area:
\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times (7 + 11) \]
