What is the volume of the composite figure?
Herse the pic
@Easyaspi314
The bottom part of the figure is a rectangular prism, whose volume -s lwh (l = length; w = width; h = height). The dimensions are given for l, w, h. so you can do that on your own. The top part is a pyramid whose Volume = (1/3) BH, where B = area of the base of the pyramid; and h = height of the pyramid (which is also given). So now you should be able to do the problem.
But it ony shows the height of the triangular prism @Easyaspi314
The base of the prism is a 3 by 5. Look at the diagram.
Rectangular prism area = 120?
yes, 120 square yards.
Area of triangular prism = 5?
Now you must add to it the volume of the triangular prism.
no. how did you get 5?
1/3 x 3 x 5 = 5...
The formula is (1/3) BH.
what about the height; the height is given in the diagram.
Height = 3 yards
yes, so it is (1/3)(15)(3)
Where did the 15 come from?
1/3 x 15 x 3 = 15, 120 + 15 = 135. So the answer is 135, correct?
Formula: (1/3)(B)(h)..B = area of the base of the pyramid. The base of the pyramid is 15 becuase the base of the pyramid is a rectangle, 3 by 5.
Kay ty :)
welcome...so whats your final answer?
135
correct.
