What is the volume of the composite figure?
Base=11in
Height=4in
Base=3in
Height 3in
3in
To find the volume of the composite figure, we need to first find the volume of each individual figure and then sum them up.
1. Calculate the volume of the rectangular prism:
Volume = Base x Height x Depth
Volume = 11in x 4in x 3in
Volume = 132in³
2. Calculate the volume of the triangular prism:
Volume = 0.5 x Base x Height x Depth
Volume = 0.5 x 3in x 3in x 3in
Volume = 13.5in³
Now, add the volumes of both prisms to get the total volume of the composite figure:
Total Volume = 132in³ + 13.5in³
Total Volume = 145.5in³
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 145.5in³.
