what is the volume of the composite figure

Question

there are two squares and one rectangle in-between them the squares measure at 2yd wide 2yd tall and 2yd long the rectange measures at 4.5 yd long 2yd tall and 2yd wide

Answer 1

To find the volume of the composite figure, we first need to calculate the volume of each individual shape and then add them together.

Volume of the first square:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 2yd x 2yd x 2yd
Volume = 8 cubic yards

Volume of the rectangle:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 4.5yd x 2yd x 2yd
Volume = 18 cubic yards

Volume of the second square:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 2yd x 2yd x 2yd
Volume = 8 cubic yards

Now, add the volumes of each shape together to get the total volume of the composite figure:
8 cubic yards (first square) + 18 cubic yards (rectangle) + 8 cubic yards (second square) = 34 cubic yards

Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 34 cubic yards.
