We can find the area of the square by squaring its side length.
A_(□)=(3 ft)^2 ⇔ A_(□)= 9 ft^2
To find the area of the triangle, we first need to find its height. To do so, we will consider the right triangle formed by one of the sides, the height, and half the base.
In this right triangle, the legs are 5 and h, and the hypotenuse is 10. We can find the value of h by using the Pythagorean Theorem.
The height of the right triangle, and also the height of the equilateral triangle, is 5sqrt(3) feet. With this information, we can find the area A_(â–ł).
This tells us that the area of the base is 25sqrt(3)-9 square feet. Now to get the volume of the composite solid, we will multiply the area of the base by the height of the solid 6 feet.
