Question

Help me plz i dont get this

Answer 1

The volume of the container is 56 in^3

Explanation:

To solve, I split this figure vertically at the corner between the two steps. We know that the formula for volume of a container is V= l*w*h. The first, smaller portion of the container has a length of 4, a width of 1, and a height of 2. 4*1*2= 8 in^3

The second, larger portion of this container has a length of 4, (look at the side of the first portion), a width of 3, (4-1=3), and a height of 4. 4*3*4= 48 in^3.

Finally, add together the volumes of the two portions and that is the volume of the whole figure. V= 56 in^3

Answer 2

56
`in^2`

Explanation:

We can first break this down into 2 smaller rectangles.

1x2x4 rectangle

4x3x4 rectangle.

Then we can find out the area of each, and we get 8+48 = 56.

You also could find this out by subtracting the area that is missing.
