Question

I dont understand how they got that awnser​

Answer 1

Because this is a complex shape it had to be broken down into simpler shapes in order for you to calculate the area of the individual shapes, once you’ve done that you can add all the areas together and then multiply it by the lengh (4cm) in order to find its volume.
I hope this helped

Answer 2

its quite simple...

the formula to find volume= width x height x length ( or area x length)

Explanation:

of A

• width =5 cm

• height= 9cm

of B

• width= 3
• height= 2

length of whole prism= 4

Volume (A)= w x h x l

= 5 x 9 x 4

= 180 cm³

volume (B)= w x h x l

= 3 x 2 x 4

= 24 cm³

add both values to get the volume of whole prism = 180 + 24

= 204 cm³
