Question

Martin is an artist who molds plaster into unique shapes. How much plaster can Martin fit into the mold shown? Cuboid with length as 1 ft, height as 2 ft and width as 1 ft. Is placed above the cuboid with length, height and width as 4 ft. A. 66 ft3 B. 80 ft3 C. 128 ft3 D. 256 ft3

Answer 1

`Amount = 66ft^3`

Explanation:

No attachment given, but the question can still be solved.

Given

Cuboid 1

`Length = 1ft`
`Width = 1ft`
`Height = 2ft`

Cuboid 2

`Length = Width = Height = 4ft`

Required

How much plaster can fit in

To do this, we simply calculate the volume of the shape

For cuboid 1

`Volume = Length * Width * Height`

`V_1 = 1 * 1 * 2`

`V_1 = 2ft^3`

For cuboid 2

`V_2 = 4 * 4 * 4`

`V_2 = 64ft^3`

Amount of plaster is then calculated as:

`Amount = V_1 + V_2`

`Amount = 2ft^3 + 64ft^3`

`Amount = 66ft^3`
