Question

Find the volume
of the figure below:

Answer 1

Explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the base of the right triangle

221^2 = 195^2 + b^2

b = 104 km

triangle area = 1/2 base * height = 1/2 * 104 * 195 = 10140 km^2

Now multiply by the height to find volume

10140 km^2 * 15 km = 152100 km^3
