Question

The greenhouse pictured below can be modeled as a rectangular prism with a half-cylinder on top. The rectangular prism is 20 feet wide, 12 feet high, and 45 feet long. The half-cylinder has a diameter of 20 feet.
To the nearest cubic foot, what is the volume of the greenhouse?

Answer 1

The volume of the greenhouse made from a rectangular prism with a half-cylinder on top is 17869 ft³

What is volume?

Volume is the amount of space occupied by a three dimensional shape or object.

The volume of the rectangular prism = length * width * height = 20 * 12 * 45 = 10800 ft³

The volume of the half cylinder = (1/2) * π * (diameter/2)² * height = 0.5 * π * (20/2)² * 45 = 7069 ft³

Volume of the greenhouse = 10800 ft³ + 7069 ft³ = 17869 ft³

The volume of the greenhouse made from a rectangular prism with a half-cylinder on top is 17869 ft³
