Answer:

328 cubic inches.

Explanation:

Given:

Tia made a two layer cake.

Each layer is a rectangular prism that is 2 inch height.

The base of the bottom layer is 100 square inches.

The base of the top layer is 64 square inches.

Question asked:

What is the total volume of the cake?

Solution:

First of all we will find volume of each layer cake and then add both of the volumes:-

Volume of bottom layer cake = Base of the cake
* height

= 100 square inches
* 2 inches

= 200 cubic inches

Similarly:-

Volume of top layer cake = Base of the cake
* height

= 64 square inches
* 2 inches

= 128 cubic inches

Total volume of the cake = Volume of bottom layer + Volume of top layer

= 200 cubic inches + 128 cubic inches

= 328 cubic inches

Thus, the total volume of the cake is 328 cubic inches.
