Answer 1

840 cubic inches

Explanation:

Given:

The wooden steps have two parts.

Both of which are rectangular prisms.

The top part is 6 inches tall, 5 inches wide and 10 inches long.

The bottom part is 6 inches tall, 9 inches wide and 10 inches long.

Question asked:

What is the volume of the steps?

Solution:

For top part

Length = 10 inches

Width = 5 inches

Height = 6 inches

As we know:

`Volume\ of\ rectangular\ prism =length* width* height`

`=10*5*6=300\ cubic\ inches`

For bottom part

Length = 10 inches

Width = 9 inches

Height = 6 inches

Similarly

`Volume\ of\ rectangular\ prism =length* width* height`

`=10*9*6=540\ cubic\ inches`

Volume of two steps = 300 + 540 = 840 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the steps are 840 cubic inches.
