What is the volume of the desk. 40 wide,24 high, 12 long,18 wide,10 long, 10 long

1 answer

To calculate the volume of the desk, we need to add up the volumes of all the individual parts.

First, we have a rectangular prism that is 40 inches wide, 24 inches high, and 12 inches long.

Volume of rectangular prism = length x width x height

Volume of first rectangular prism = 40 x 24 x 12 = 11,520 cubic inches

Next, we have a rectangular prism that is 18 inches wide, 10 inches long, and 24 - 10 = 14 inches high (since this part is on top of the first rectangular prism).

Volume of second rectangular prism = length x width x height

Volume of second rectangular prism = 18 x 10 x 14 = 2,520 cubic inches

Adding the two volumes together, we get:

11,520 + 2,520 = 14,040 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the desk is 14,040 cubic inches.
