Question

4. Consider the mailbox shown below. It consists of a square prism for the main pole, a rectangular prism for the main box and half a cylinder for top portion. You are going to provide the dimensions for each of these parts. When you provide the dimensions, they must meet the following criteria:

Use these dimensions to determine the overall volume of the mailbox. This should include both the pole, main box and cylindrical top portion. If necessary, use 3.14 for π and round your answer to the nearest hundredths.

Answer 1

Too many answers could be correct

Explanation:

This one is hard because it will depend on what numbers you pick for each measurement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

if a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4, and e = 5

find the volume for all the shapes

The post

V = lwh = (1)(1)(2) = 2

The bottom of the mailbox

V = lwh = (3)(4)(5) = 60

The top of the mailbox

V = πr²h = (3)(5)π = 15π = 48.2

Then add them all together:

2 + 60 + 48.2 = 110.2 is the total Volume
