Question

Find the total volume of the composite figure below. Round to the nearest thousandth.

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the composite figure is approximately 3567.198 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The composite figure consists in the combination of a right cone and a cuboid. The volume of the composite ($V$), in cubic feet, figure can be determined by this expression:

$V = \frac{1}{3}\cdot \pi \cdot r^{2}\cdot h + w\cdot H \cdot l$ (1)

Where:

$r$ - Radius of the circle of the right cone, in feet.

$h$ - Height of the cone, in feet.

$w$ - Width of the cuboid, in feet.

$H$ - Height of the cuboid, in feet.

$l$ - Length of the cuboid, in feet.

If we know that $r = 10\,ft$, $h = 10\,ft$, $w = 20\,ft$, $H = 7\,ft$ and $l = 18\,ft$, then the volume of the composite figure is:

$V = \frac{1}{3}\cdot \pi \cdot (10\,ft)^{2}\cdot (10\,ft) + (20\,ft)\cdot (7\,ft)\cdot (18\,ft)$

$V = \left(\frac{1000\pi}{3} + 2520\right)\,ft^{3}$

$V \approx 3567.198\,ft^{3}$

The volume of the composite figure is approximately 3567.198 cubic feet.
