So Volume = Area of base * height

AZ:

Let's first calculate the area of the base The base is a triangle and a rectangle area of base = area of rectangle + area of triangle

TETSXPREME:

how i do that?

AZ:

So some colors for you to better see it

Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height the base of the triangle is 5 the height of the triangle is 2 what is the area of the triangle?

TETSXPREME:

10?

AZ:

remember, it's a triangle so you have to half that 1/2 * 5 * 2

TETSXPREME:

5?

AZ:

there we go now what is the area of the rectangle? it has a length of 5 and width of 3

TETSXPREME:

so 5x3? or 5x5?

TETSXPREME:

5x5x5?*

AZ:

area of rectangle = length times width area of rectangle = 5 * 3

TETSXPREME:

15

AZ:

so now the area of the base of the figure is equal to triangle area + rectangle area = 5 + 15 = ??

TETSXPREME:

20

AZ:

so now we can find the volume, the height of the entire thing is 8 volume = Area of base * height volume = 20 * 8 volume =

TETSXPREME:

160

AZ:

ta-da!
