The melting pot theory of ethnic relations, which sees American identity as centered upon the acculturation or assimilation and the intermarriage of white immigrant groups, has been analyzed by the emerging academic field of whiteness studies. This discipline examines the "social construction of whiteness" and highlights the changing ways in which whiteness has been normative to American national identity from the 17th to the 20th century.
First you’d start off by finding the volume of the rectangular prism on the bottom. The formula for this is lwh or (length*width*height) so you’d plug in the numbers and get 4*4*5 which multiplies out to be 80inches cubed. Next you’d have to find the volume of the pyramid by using the formula lwh/3 or ((length*width*height)/3) so it would be ((4*4*6)/3) and that equals 32inches cubed. Finally, you add the 2 volumes together so 80inches cubed+32inches cubed and get 112inches cubed. Hope this helps
