this is made up of a rectangular prism and a rectangular pyramid
volume of the prism = height * width * length = 5.5 * 6.2 * 6.7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
whats the answer then?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 * area of its base * height
OpenStudy (welshfella):
well please work out the volume of the prism first

ok
OpenStudy (welshfella):
I'll guide you through the process but I won't give the answer.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the volume of the prism is 288.47?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
i think theres a typo there Its 228.47

oh, yeah whoops
OpenStudy (welshfella):
Now the base of pyramid is same as base of the prism = 6.2* 6.7 = 41.54
we need to work out its perpendicular height
we can do this from its slant height by using the following triangle

height = sqrt (5.8^2 - 3.35^2)
OpenStudy (welshfella):
so vol of pyramid = 1/3 * above result * 41.54
add this to 228.47 and you have the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
help me do that lol
OpenStudy (welshfella):
what do you get for 5.8^2 - 3.35^2 ?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
use calculator

2.45^2?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
no
just find 5.8 * 5.8 and 3.35 * 3.35 and subtract the results
OpenStudy (welshfella):
5.8^2 = 33.64
3,35^2 = ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
22.4175 is the answer for 5.8 * 5.8 - 3.35 * 3.35
OpenStudy (welshfella):
correct
now take square root of that

4.73471224
OpenStudy (welshfella):
right so volume of pyramid = 1/3 * 4.7347*41.54
OpenStudy (welshfella):
when youve found that add it to the vol of prism which is 228.47
OpenStudy (anonymous):
294.029813?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
final answer
correct
