Question

Find the volume of the large solid without the smaller solid. The solid is a right solid and is not drawn to scale. Round answers to the tenths place.
A rectangular prism has length 12.4 meters, height 9 meters, and width 7.8 meters. A smaller rectangular prism inside the larger prism has length 3 meters, width 1.8 meters, and height 9 meters.
a.
870.5 cube meters
c.
48.6 cube meters
b.
821.9 cube meters
d.
919.0 cube meters

Answer 1

Answer: 821.9 cube meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate both rectangular prisms volume:

Volume: Length x width x height

Replacing with the values given:

Large solid volume = 12.4 x 7.8 x9 =870.48 cubic meters

Small solid volume = 3 x 1.8 x 9 =48.6 cubic meters

Next, we have to subtract the smaller solid's volume to the large solid’s volume .

870.48-48.6 = 821.88 = 821.9 cubic meters
