The volume of the composite figure can be calculated by finding the volume of each rectangular prism and adding them together.
Volume of the first rectangular prism = 16 x 7 x 7 = 784 in^3
Volume of the second rectangular prism = 16 x 7 x 7 = 784 in^3
Volume of the third rectangular prism = 10 x 8 x 7 = 560 in^3
Total volume = 784 + 784 + 560 = 2,128 in^3
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 2,128 in^3.
Question
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows an inverted U-shaped structure made up of three rectangular prisms. Two identical rectangular prisms are placed on either side of a center rectangular prism. The side prisms are 16 inches long, 7 inches wide, and 7 inches high. The prism placed in between the two rectangles is 8 inches wide and 10 inches long.
