hi... same question huh?

anonymous · Answer

Well, I am stuck on an actual question now. I am having trouble with the formula.

anonymous · Answer

The bottom shape is a square prism with base edges of 3 cm and a height of 10 cm. What is the volume of the composite figure if the top shape is a right pyramid with a height of 2 cm?

anonymous · Answer

do you have a picture of the composite figure?

Si!

I used the formula to find area, but I think I messed it up. 1/2bh = a is only for finding triangles, correct?

ok let's look for volume first...   total volume of the composite figure is volume of the prism + volume of the pyramid... agreed?
