Answer
what is the volume of the composite figure
(there are 2 shapes stacked on top of eachother)
the first is a cube with dimensions 3, 3, and 3 inches
The second is a Rectangular prism I think and it's dimensions are 3, 4, and 11 inches
Pls someone help

The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.

In this case, the base area is calculated as the average of the two bases and then multiplied by the height.

Base area = (7 + 7.5)/2 * 7 = 7.25 * 7 = 50.75 sq.mi

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is V = (1/3) * 50.75 * 5 = 84.5833 cubic miles.

So, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is approximately 84.5833 cubic miles.

Apologies for the confusion. If one of the bases is the length rather than the width, we would need to clarify the dimensions to get the correct volume.

Assuming the 7mi and 7.5mi bases are the width and the length respectively, the volume formula for a rectangular pyramid would be V = (1/3) * base area * height.

In this case, the base area would be calculated as base * length, so:

Base area = 7 * 7.5 = 52.5 sq.mi

Then the volume of the pyramid would be V = (1/3) * 52.5 * 5 = 87.5 cubic miles.

Therefore, if the 7.5mi base is the length of the base, and 7mi is the width, the volume would be 87.5 cubic miles.

The volume of a prism is given by the formula V = base area * height.

Since the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 480 in^3 and the volume of a pyramid is (1/3) * base area * height, we can set up the equation:

(1/3) * base area * height = 480

Now, remember that the volume of a prism is the same as the volume of a pyramid with a base and height that are congruent (the same). So, the base area and height of the prism would be the same as the base area and height of the pyramid.

If we rearrange the formula for the pyramid volume to solve for base area * height, we get:

base area * height = 480 * 3

base area * height = 1440

Since the base area and height of the rectangular prism would be the same, the volume of the prism would be V = 1440 in^3.

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism would be 1440 in^3.

Let's reevaluate the solution to ensure accuracy.

Given:
Volume of the rectangular pyramid = 480 in^3
Volume of a prism is given by V = base area * height

Since the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 480 in^3, we know that:
Volume of pyramid = (1/3) * base area * height = 480

Let's solve for the base area * height of the pyramid:
Base area * height = 480 * 3
Base area * height = 1440 in^3

The volume of a prism is calculated by multiplying the base area by the height.

Since the base area and height of the prism in this case would be congruent to the pyramid, the volume of the prism would be the same as the base area * height of the pyramid, which is 1440 in^3.

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism would indeed be 1440 in^3.

To find the total volume of the composite figure, which consists of a cube and a rectangular prism stacked on top of each other, we calculate the volume of each shape and then add them together.

For the cube:
Volume of a cube = side^3
Given side length is 3 inches, so the volume of the cube = 3^3 = 27 cubic inches

For the rectangular prism:
Volume of a rectangular prism = length * width * height
Given dimensions are length = 3 inches, width = 4 inches, height = 11 inches
Volume of the rectangular prism = 3 * 4 * 11 = 132 cubic inches

Now, to find the total volume of the composite figure, we add the volumes of the cube and the rectangular prism:
Total Volume = Volume of Cube + Volume of Rectangular Prism
Total Volume = 27 + 132 = 159 cubic inches

Therefore, the total volume of the composite figure, consisting of a cube and a rectangular prism, would be 159 cubic inches.
