Answer:
Volume = 175 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
We can picture this image as a whole rectangular prism, with a part that has been cut out of it.
Step 1: Volume of original prism
We are going to solve the volume of the original prism, with the dimensions of 9, 7, and 5
Step 2: Volume of part cut out
We are solving the volume of that part that has been cut out ( missing space)
- V = 5 * (9-2) * (7-3)
- V = 5 * 7 * 4
- V = 140
Step 3: Total Volume
Now we just subtract the cutout part from the original volume
Volume = 175 cm³
Note, we could have also found the volume by splitting this shape into two prisms with dimensions (9 * 3 * 5) and (4 * 5 * 2). This way would also get us:
- V = (9 * 3 * 5) + (4 * 5 * 2)
- V = 135 + 40
- V = 175
