Question

Draw an example of a composite figure that has a volume between 750 cubic inches and 900 cubic inches

Answer 1

Volume:

$V \approx 888.02in^3 \\ \\ And, \ 750in^3$

Explanation:

A composite figure is formed by two or more basic figures or shapes. In this problem, we have a composite figure formed by a cylinder and a hemisphere as shown in the figure below, so the volume of this shape as a whole is the sum of the volume of the cylinder and the hemisphere:

$V_{total}=V_{cylinder}+V_{hemisphere} \\ \\ \\ V_{total}=V \\ \\ V_{cylinder}=V_{c} \\ \\ V_{hemisphere}=V_{h}$

So:

$V_{c}=\pi r^2h \\ \\ r:radius \\ \\ h:height$

From the figure the radius of the hemisphere is the same radius of the cylinder and equals:

$r=\frac{8}{2}=4in$

And the height of the cylinder is:

$h=15in$

So:

$V_{c}=\pi r^2h \\ \\ V_{c}=\pi (4)^2(15) \\ \\ V_{c}=240\pi in^3$

The volume of a hemisphere is half the volume of a sphere, hence:

$V_{h}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\right) \\ \\ V_{h}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi (4)^3\right) \\ \\ V_{h}=\frac{128}{3}\pi in^3$

Finally, the volume of the composite figure is:

$V=240\pi+\frac{128}{3}\pi \\ \\ V=\frac{848}{3}\pi in^3 \\ \\ \\ V \approx 888.02in^3 \\ \\ And, \ 750in^3$
