What is the volume of the figure below, which is composed of two cubes with side lengths of 9 units? Note: Figure is not drawn to scale. 810 cubic units 27 cubic units 54 cubic units 1,458 cubic units

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK lets see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first we need to draw a model, (since we dont have one)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is the model

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright so each side is 9 inches right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and each of them are cubes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9x8x2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummmm nu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alrght so heres wut we do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tell me, wut is the formula for finding the volume of a cube?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

length × width × height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly, lets split the figure in two and just deal with one cube for now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one of the sides is 9 units and all the sides are the same length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now can you tell me the length the width and the height of the sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9,9,9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ALRIGHT so u got ur formula, 9x9x9=_ now solve this problem and tell me the answer and we'll move on to the next step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

729

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good job! now thats the volume of ONE cube right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But there are TWO cubes in total, and BOTH are identical

OpenStudy (anonymous):

729*2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1458

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U GOT IT! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me with another one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
