Question

How do you find the volume of this, please say answer and show work

Answer 1

To find the volume of the object we need to notice that is is made from two rectangular prisms:

• A prism with length 8 cm, width 6 cm and height 13 cm.

,

• A prism with length 3 cm, width 4 cm and height 7 cm.

Hence the volume is the sum of the volumes of the prisms.

The volume of a rectangular prims is given by:

`V=lwh`

Hence the volume of the object is:

`\begin{gathered} V=(8)(6)(13)+(3)(4)(7) \\ V=624+84 \\ V=708 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the volume of the object is 708 cubic cm.
