Enter your answer in the box.
mm³
Three-dimensional figure that could be formed by placing two rectangular prisms together to form an L shape where the longer part of the L is on the bottom and the shorter part of the L extends up from the left side. The longer part of the L has a length of 40 millimeters, a width of 7 millimeters, and a height of 4 millimeters. The shorter part of the L extends 15 millimeters above the longer part of the L and has a length of 10 millimeters.
You are probably aware that you cannot diagram on these posts.
However, you explanation of the diagram is so complex, it is hard to understand. Nice try though.
To find the volume of the plastic tab, we need to calculate the volume of each rectangular prism separately and then add them together.
First, let's calculate the volume of the longer part of the L shape. The length is 40 millimeters, the width is 7 millimeters, and the height is 4 millimeters. The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height. Therefore, the volume of the longer part is:
Volume = length × width × height
Volume = 40 mm × 7 mm × 4 mm
Next, let's calculate the volume of the shorter part of the L shape. The length is 10 millimeters, and the height above the longer part is 15 millimeters. The width will be the same as the longer part. The volume of the shorter part is:
Volume = length × width × height
Volume = 10 mm × 7 mm × 15 mm
Now, add the volumes of the two parts together to find the total volume of the plastic tab.
Total Volume = Volume of the longer part + Volume of the shorter part
