Question

What is the volume of this composite solid?

Answer 1

For cases like these, we need to find the base then multiply it by the height. Let’s separate the triangle and the rectangle of the base

Triangle:

1/2(6*9) = 27

Rectangle:

5 * 9 = 45

Total base:

45+ 27 = 72

Now for the area:

72 * 12 = 864 m^3

864 m^3 would be the volume.
