Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question in the image asks to "Find the volume of the rectangular solid" shown in the diagram, which appears to be composed of two smaller rectangular prisms.
Steps to solve:
-
Break the solid into two parts:
- Part 1: A rectangular prism with dimensions:
- Length = 10 cm
- Width = 6 cm
- Height = 3 cm
- Part 2: A second rectangular prism with dimensions:
- Length = 7 cm
- Width = 7 cm
- Height = 4 cm
- Part 1: A rectangular prism with dimensions:
-
Find the volume of each part:
- Volume of Part 1 =
- Volume of Part 2 =
-
Add the volumes of both parts to get the total volume:
The total volume of the solid is 376 cm³.
