Question

5. Find the volume of the composite space figure to the nearest whole number. (1 point)

Answer 1

Answer:

  (d)  944 mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a prism is given by the formula ...

  V = Bh

where B is the area of the base, and h is the distance between bases.

__

base area

Here, the base of the prism is a rectangle with a semicircle on top. The circle has a diameter of 9 mm, so a radius of 4.5 mm. The area of the semicircle is ...

  A = 1/2πr² = 1/2π(4.5 mm)² ≈ 31.809 mm²

The area of the rectangle is the product of its length and width.

  A = LW = (9 mm)(6 mm) = 54 mm²

So, the total base area is ...

  31.809 mm² +54 mm² = 85.809 mm²

prism volume

The prism volume is this area multiplied by the length of the figure:

  V = Bh = (85.809 mm²)(11 mm) ≈ 944 mm³

The volume of the figure is about 944 mm³.
