Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a center-pedestal type table with the table top placed on vertical rectangular block that has a rectangular base. The table top length and width are 30 inches, with a depth of 2 inches. The height of the rectangular block pedestal is 25 inches, and the width and length are 8 inches each. The length and width of the rectangular base are 12 inches each, and the height is 4 inches. The table top has a checkerboard pattern.
What is the volume of the table
To find the volume of the table, we need to calculate the volume of the rectangular block pedestal and the rectangular base separately, and then add them together.
Volume of the rectangular block pedestal:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 8 inches x 8 inches x 25 inches
Volume = 1600 cubic inches
Volume of the rectangular base:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 12 inches x 12 inches x 4 inches
Volume = 576 cubic inches
Total volume of the table = Volume of the rectangular block pedestal + Volume of the rectangular base + Volume of the table top
Total volume = 1600 cubic inches + 576 cubic inches + (30 inches x 30 inches x 2 inches)
Total volume = 1600 cubic inches + 576 cubic inches + 1800 cubic inches
Total volume = 3976 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the table is 3976 cubic inches.
