Question

Jada and Noah wanted to find the total volume of a cube and a rectangular prism. They know the prism's volume is 20 cubic units, and they know the cube has side lengths of 10 units. Jada says the total volume is 27,000 cubic units. Noah says it is 1,020 cubic units. Here is how each of them reasoned:

Jada's Method: Noah’s Method:
20 + 10³ 20 + 10³
30³ 20 + 1,000
27,000 1,020

Do you agree with either of them?

Please help! I don't know what to do!

Answer 1

Only Noah is correct because volume of the cube = 10^3 = 1000 units. Total volume of the cube + the prism = 1000 + 2 = 1020 cubic units.

Answer 2

Volume of the cube = 10^3 = 1000 units.

Total volume of the cube + the prism = 1000 + 2

= 1020 cubic units.
