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 3
To find the volume of the composite figure, we first need to break it down into simpler shapes to calculate the volume of each and then add them together.
The composite figure consists of two rectangular prisms:
1. A rectangular prism with dimensions 2yd x 2yd x 2yd
2. A rectangular prism with dimensions 4.5yd x 2yd x 3yd
The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height.
For the first rectangular prism:
Volume = 2yd x 2yd x 2yd = 8 cubic yards
For the second rectangular prism:
Volume = 4.5yd x 2yd x 3yd = 27 cubic yards
Adding the volumes of both rectangular prisms together:
Total volume = 8 cubic yards + 27 cubic yards = 35 cubic yards
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 35 cubic yards.
