Question

The volume to the nearest whole number for the composite shape below is

Answer 1

10368 ft3

Explanation:

We can separate the figure in two parts: one rectangular prism and one square pyramid.

The volume of the rectangular prism is the product of its three dimensions:

V1 = 15 * 24 * 24 = 8640 ft3

Then, the volume of the square pyramid is:

V2 = (1/3) * 24 * 24 * 9 = 1728 ft3

Now, to find the volume of the composite shape, we just need to sum the volumes:

V = V1 + V2 = 8640 + 1728 = 10368 ft3
