Answer:
D
Explanation:
Interesting question. The wording is a bit awkward. I think you have to assume the base is a square and each succeeding base is also a square.
So the first thing to do is to add the bases together.
30*30 + 23*23 + 16*16 + 9*9
Don't add these -- not yet.
Now take the height into consideration
6 *(30*30 + 23*23 + 16*16 + 9*9)
The point is that you only have to multiply by 6 once.
6*(900 + 529 + 256 + 81)
6*(1766)
10596 cubic inches
The answer is D
