Question

Calculate the volume Please show the steps...

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 2.6 m^2

(b) 3.9 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

ABCD is a trapezoid.

A = (B + b)h/2

A = (1.7 m + 2.3 m)(1.3 m)/2 = 2.6 m^2

(b)

The skip is shaped like a prism with trapezoidal bases.

V = area of base * height

V = 2.6 m^2 * 1.5 m = 3.9 m^3
