Answer:


\displaystyle V _{ \text{cuboid}} =280 {in}^(3)

Explanation:

We are given the area of the base and the measure of the height of a solid figure . We want to find the volume of the figure.

Notice that the area of the base of the figure is not a perfect square. Thus, we assume the solid figure to be a cuboid.

What is Cuboid?

Cuboid is a three dimensional rectangle. The dimensions of cuboid are length, width and height

Remember that


\displaystyle V _{ \text{cuboid}} = l* w * h

Since the base area (l×w) is 40in² and height (h) is 7in, simply substitute:


\displaystyle V _{ \text{cuboid}} =40 * 7

simplify multiplication:


\displaystyle V _{ \text{cuboid}} =280

hence,

The volume of the figure is 280 in³
