Given:
Composite figure
To find:
The volume of the composite figure.
Solution:
The figure is splitted into two shapes.
One is rectangular pyramid and the other is rectangular prism.
<u>Rectangular pyramid:</u>
Length = 8
Width = 6
Height = 10 - 4 = 6
Volume of rectangular pyramid = ![\frac{1}{3} lbh](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%20lbh)
Volume of rectangular pyramid ![=\frac{1}{3} (8)(6)(6)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%20%288%29%286%29%286%29)
<u>Rectangular prism:</u>
Length = 8
Width = 6
Height = 4
Volume of rectangular prism = length × width × height
= 8 × 6 × 4
Volume of rectangular prism = (8)(6)(4)
Volume of figure = Volume of pyramid + volume of prism
![=\frac{1}{3} (8)(6)(6)+(8)(6)(4)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%20%288%29%286%29%286%29%2B%288%29%286%29%284%29)
The volume of the composite figure is
cubic units.
