Answer:
290 m³
Explanation:
Volume of the composite figure can be calculated by using the formula for volume of a rectangular prism to calculate, separately, the volume of the top prism, then volume of the prism beneath, before summing both volumes together.
Volume of rectangular prism = width (w) × height (h) × length (l)
==>The prism on top has:
l = 3m
w = 8-3 = 5m
h = 6m
Volume (V1) = 3*5*6 = 90m³
==>The prism beneath has:
l = 8m
w = 5m
h = 5m
Volume (V2) = 8*5*5 = 200m³
Volume of the composite figure = V1 + V2 = 90+200 = 290 m³
