#### Question 49:
**What is the volume of a prism with length 9 cm, width 5 cm, and height 4 cm?**

**Answer Options:**
A. 202 cm³  
B. 180 cm³  
C. 99 cm³  
D. 81 cm³  

**Solution:**
To find the volume of the prism, we use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: 

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]

Substituting the given values:

\[ \text{Volume} = 9 \, \text{cm} \times 5 \, \text{cm} \times 4 \, \text{cm} = 180 \, \text{cm}³ \]

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 180 cm³.

#### Question 50:
**The area formula for a regular polygon is \(\frac{1}{2} \times Perimeter \times Apothem\). Find the area of a regular hexagon with side length of 16 cm and apothem length of 13.9 cm.**

**Answer Options:**
A. 222.4 cm²  
B. 556 cm²  
C. 667.2 cm²  
D. 778.4 cm²  

**Solution:**
First, find the perimeter of the regular hexagon. Since it is a hexagon, it has 6 sides.

\[ \text{Perimeter} = 6 \times \text{side length} = 6 \times 16 \, \text{cm} = 96 \, \text{cm} \]

Next, use the area formula for a regular polygon:

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Perimeter} \times \text{Apothem} = \frac{1}{2} \times 96 \, \text{cm} \times 13.9 \, \text{cm} \]

Calculating,

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 96 \, \text{cm} \times 13.9 \, \text{cm} = 48 \, \text{cm} \times 13.9 \,
