What is the volume of the composite figure?

1st cube 2 by 2 by 2.
the middle cube bottom number is 4.5
last cube bottom is 2

To find the volume of each cube, we use the formula V = l x w x h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

1st cube: V = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cubic units

Middle cube: V = 4.5 x 4.5 x 4.5 = 91.125 cubic units

Last cube: V = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cubic units

To find the total volume of the composite figure, we add the volumes of each cube.

Total volume = 8 + 91.125 + 8 = 107.125 cubic units

Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 107.125 cubic units.

no wrong

I apologize for the mistake. Let's calculate the volume of the composite figure again.

1st cube: Volume = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cubic units

Middle cube: The bottom base of the middle cube is 4.5 units, but we do not have the height of the middle cube. Let's calculate the missing dimension.

The height of the middle cube would be the total height from the bottom of the 1st cube to the top of the last cube, which is 2 + 4.5 + 2 = 8.5 units.

So, the volume of the middle cube is: 4.5 x 4.5 x (8.5 - 4.5) = 4.5 x 4.5 x 4 = 81 cubic units

Last cube: Volume = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cubic units

Total volume = Volume of 1st cube + Volume of middle cube + Volume of last cube
Total volume = 8 + 81 + 8 = 97 cubic units

Therefore, the correct volume of the composite figure is 97 cubic units. Thank you for pointing out the error.

97 was wrong too

I apologize for the mistake. Let's recalculate the volume of the composite figure.

1st cube: Volume = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cubic units

Middle cube: The bottom base of the middle cube is 4.5 units, and the height can be calculated as the total height from the bottom of the 1st cube to the top of the last cube, which is 2 + 4.5 + 2 = 8.5 units.

So, the volume of the middle cube is: 4.5 x 4.5 x 4 = 81 cubic units

Last cube: Volume = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cubic units

Total volume = Volume of 1st cube + Volume of middle cube + Volume of last cube
Total volume = 8 + 81 + 8 = 97 cubic units

Therefore, the correct volume of the composite figure is 97 cubic units. Thank you for your patience.

you still gave 97 as the same answer is there any other way to work this problem

Apologies for the repeated mistake. Let's approach the problem from a different angle.

Since the middle cube sits on top of the first cube and the last cube sits on top of the middle cube, we can find the total volume of the composite figure by adding the volumes of each cube.

1st cube: Volume = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cubic units
Middle cube: Since the bottom base is 4.5 x 4.5, the volume of the middle cube is 4.5 x 4.5 x 2 (height of the middle cube) = 40.5 cubic units
Last cube: Volume = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cubic units

Now, let's add the volumes of each cube to find the total volume of the composite figure:
Total volume = 8 (1st cube) + 40.5 (middle cube) + 8 (last cube) = 56.5 cubic units

Therefore, the correct volume of the composite figure is 56.5 cubic units. Thank you for your patience.

the second cube is 4.5 x2 x2 and the answer is 34yd^3

Thank you for providing the correct dimensions for the second cube. Let's calculate the volume of the composite figure using the new information.

1st cube: Volume = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cubic units
Middle cube: Volume = 4.5 x 2 x 2 = 18 cubic units
Last cube: Volume = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cubic units

Total volume = Volume of 1st cube + Volume of middle cube + Volume of last cube
Total volume = 8 + 18 + 8 = 34 cubic units

Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 34 cubic units. Thank you for your patience and for providing the correct dimensions.
