To find the total volume of the corner store, we first find the volume of each rectangular prism and then add them together.
Volume of the horizontal rectangular prism:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 30m x 6m x 9m
Volume = 1620 cubic meters
Volume of the perpendicular rectangular prism:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 24m x 6m x 9m
Volume = 1296 cubic meters
Total volume of the corner store:
Total volume = 1620 cubic meters (horizontal prism) + 1296 cubic meters (perpendicular prism)
Total volume = 2916 cubic meters
Therefore, the total volume of the corner store is 2916 cubic meters.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a structure of a building shaped like an inverted letter upper L, formed by two rectangular perpendicular prisms to look like a two-winged building. The structure is 9 meters high. The horizontal rectangular prism has an overall length of 30 meters along the back edge. It has a width of 6 meters. Doors are drawn along the inside 24-meter length. The smaller perpendicular rectangular prism adjoins the horizontal prism along the right side and extends forward. It shows an inner length of 21 meters.
