what is the volume of t h e c o m p o s i t e figure? 2yd. 2yd. 2yd . 4.5yd. 2yd. yd

In order to find the volume of the composite figure, we first need to break it down into simpler shapes.

The composite figure consists of a rectangular prism with dimensions 2yd x 2yd x 2yd and a rectangular prism with dimensions 4.5yd x 2yd x 1yd.

The volume of the first rectangular prism is 2yd x 2yd x 2yd = 8 cubic yards.
The volume of the second rectangular prism is 4.5yd x 2yd x 1yd = 9 cubic yards.

To find the total volume of the composite figure, we simply add the volumes of the two prisms together:
8 cubic yards + 9 cubic yards = 17 cubic yards.

Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 17 cubic yards.
