Question

Identify each of the following solids. Then find the volume.Rember that sometimes You need to look at the base of the shape. Although volume is V=Bh sometimes the B is 1/2bh or b x h. Apply the correct formula to solve for the volume.

Answer 1

Solid: Rectangular prism/Cuboid

Volume: 200 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume, V = Bh

B = b x h

B = Area of the base, b = 20 ft, h = 5 ft

B = 20 ft x 5 ft

B = 100 ft²

From V = Bh, where B = 100 ft² and h = height = 2 ft

⇒ V = 100 ft² x 2 ft

V = 200 ft³

Hence, The solid is a cuboid (also called rectangular prism) and the volume is 200 ft³
