Use the formula for the volume of a prism.
120 cubic meters
Let's analyze the given composite solid.
The composite solid consists of two smaller ones.
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.
The base of this prism is a right triangle with legs of 2 and 6 meters. Therefore, the area of the base is B= 12( 2)( 6)=6 square meters. Now, let's use the formula for the volume of a prism.
B= 6, h= 4
Multiply
Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is \textcolor{darkviolet}{V_\text{triangular}}=\textcolor{darkviolet}{24} cubic meters. Finally, let's find the volume of the composite solid.
\textcolor{darkviolet}{V_\text{triangular}}={\color{#0000FF}{\textcolor{darkviolet}{24}}}, \textcolor{darkorange}{V_\text{rectangular}}={\color{#009600}{\textcolor{darkorange}{96}}}
