Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The rocket is made up of square pyramid and a rectangular prism. Hence the volume of the rocket is the sum of the volume of the square pyramid and the volume of the rectangular prism.

Volume of square pyramid = a²h/3

a = base length = 1.1 in, h = height of pyramid = 2.1 in

Volume of square pyramid = a²h/3 = 1.1² * 2.1/3 = 0.847 in³

Volume of rectangular prism = length * breadth * height = 1.1 * 1.1 * 8.2 = 9.922 in³

Volume of rocket = volume of prism + volume of pyramid = 0.847 + 9.922 = 10.769 in³
