5. Find the volume of the composite space figure to the nearest whole number. (1 point) 416 mm3 705 mm3 1,294 mm3 944 mm3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find two separate volumes. You have a rectangular prism and a half cylinder.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

formulas lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, we just did the cylinder. Do the same as before and take half. For the rectangular prism. V=L*W*H or just multiply all sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i would do 6*9*11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

witch in that case would be 594

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that's just the volume for the rectangular prism. Now you'll have to find the volume for the half cylinder as well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay but no numbers are given for the base or hight of the half cylinder for me to find the volume

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are given. Just look.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's V for cylinder again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so base is 9 or 6 and height is 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for a cylinder V= B*h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

height is right, 11 base is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

base is not 9 or 6????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the answer choices there is no pi in any of the answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, remember B is area so in square units so mm^2, not just mm or one dimensional

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but witch one would i use to square in order to get the base?? 9 or 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pi is included inside the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

neither try to find area of the base NOT a line!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would I do that????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have half a cylinder so find the V like it's a full cylinder then to find the volume, take half of the full cylinder think of the base as a full circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i would times everything by 2 to get the full volume or wht

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, for cylinder the base is a circle find area of the circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=pi*r^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find area, you need?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay but whats going to be the Radius in order to do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, you need the radius. Look at the picture.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It shows the diameter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be half of 9 witch is 4.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right, now find the area then the volume of the half cylinder then add V of half cylinder to V of rectangular prism and that's the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which if its 4.5 and you square that it would be 20.25pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so the V of a rectagular prism is 594 and and the v of the half cylinder is 222.75 and i add that up it = to 816.75 witch is just 817 witch is not one of the choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you miscalculated somewhere on the cylinder

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I calculated the right answer. It's one of the choices.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i took 4.5^2 witch is 20.25 and that then becomes 20.25pi then i timed it by 11 and got 222.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You did NOT account for half of the cylinder. You calculated it like it was a whole one. Take half of it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i have to divide the answer 222.75 by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Of course, it's not showing a full cylinder.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Vcyl=B*h B=pi*r^2=pi*4.5^2 h=11 Vrect=LWH=11*9*6 Total Volume=Vrect + 0.5*Vcyl
