Question

For the school carnival, Pietro built a clear plastic container to be used in a game called Guess How Many Marbles. The container is to be filled with marbles that are 12 millimeters in diameter. Find the volume of the entire container.

Answer 1

135 cm³

Explanation:

In the figure attached, the container is shown. It is composed by a triangular prism and a rectangular prism.

triangular prism volume = base area* height

The base is a rectangular triangle, then:

triangular prism volume = 6*7*(1/2)*5 = 105 cm³

rectangular prism volume = 3*2*5 = 30 cm³

So, the volume of the entire container is 105 + 30 = 135 cm³
