To find the volume of the table, we need to calculate the volume of each component and then add them together.
1. Volume of the table top:
Volume = length x width x depth
Volume = 30 inches x 30 inches x 2 inches
Volume = 1800 cubic inches
2. Volume of the rectangular block pedestal:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 8 inches x 8 inches x 25 inches
Volume = 1600 cubic inches
3. Volume of the rectangular base:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 12 inches x 12 inches x 4 inches
Volume = 576 cubic inches
Total volume of the table:
Total volume = volume of table top + volume of pedestal + volume of base
Total volume = 1800 cubic inches + 1600 cubic inches + 576 cubic inches
Total volume = 3976 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the table is 3976 cubic inches.
An illustration shows a center-pedestal type table with the table top placed on vertical rectangular block that has a rectangular base. The table top length and width are 30 inches, with a depth of 2 inches. The height of the rectangular block pedestal is 25 inches, and the width and length are 8 inches each. The length and width of the rectangular base are 12 inches each, and the height is 4 inches. The table top has a checkerboard pattern.
