what is the volume of the composite figure?
20cm
5cm
15cm
5cm
5cm
The volume of the composite figure can be calculated by first finding the volumes of each individual shape and then adding them together.
For the rectangular prism with dimensions 20cm x 5cm x 15cm, the volume is:
V = l x w x h
V = 20cm x 5cm x 15cm
V = 1500 cm³
For the cube with dimensions 5cm x 5cm x 5cm, the volume is:
V = s³
V = 5cm x 5cm x 5cm
V = 125 cm³
Adding the volumes of both shapes together:
1500 cm³ + 125 cm³ = 1625 cm³
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 1625 cm³.
