What is the volume of the composite figure?
2inch 2inch 2inch 2inch 6inch 6inch
To find the volume of the composite figure, we need to split it into two separate figures - a square prism and a rectangular prism.
The square prism has a base area of 2 inches x 2 inches = 4 square inches and a height of 6 inches.
The rectangular prism has a base area of 2 inches x 6 inches = 12 square inches and a height of 6 inches.
The total volume of the composite figure is the sum of the volumes of the two prisms:
Volume = (4 square inches x 6 inches) + (12 square inches x 6 inches)
Volume = 24 cubic inches + 72 cubic inches
Volume = 96 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 96 cubic inches.
