Question

What is the volume of the composite figure?

Answer 1

Answer:

1428 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of this figure, we will need to use two formulas. The volume of a Rectangular Prism ($A= l * w * h$) and volume of a triangular prism. $A = \frac{1}{2}(b*h)$

If we look at the Rectangular Prism, we can find that l = 17, w = 8, and h = 5. Multiply these to find the volume:

17 × 8 × 5 = 680 in³.

Solving for the triangular prism gives us:

A = 1/2 (11 ×  8 × 17)

A = 748.

Add these two volumes to find the volume of the composite figure:

748 + 680 = 1428 in³
