4. Volumes of Prisms and Cylinders
Sign In
Use the formula for the volume of a prism.
120 cubic meters
Let's analyze the given composite solid.
First, lets find the volume of the rectangular prism. Its volume is equal to the product of its dimensions. Therefore, \textcolor{darkorange}{V_\text{rectangular}}={\color{#0000FF}{\ell}} {\color{#009600}{w}}{\color{#FF0000}{h}}=({\color{#0000FF}{6}})({\color{#009600}{4}})({\color{#FF0000}{4}})=\textcolor{darkorange}{96} cubic meters. Next, we will find the volume of the triangular prism.
B= 6, h= 4
Multiply
\textcolor{darkviolet}{V_\text{triangular}}={\color{#0000FF}{\textcolor{darkviolet}{24}}}, \textcolor{darkorange}{V_\text{rectangular}}={\color{#009600}{\textcolor{darkorange}{96}}}
