Step-by-step solution for: Volume of Composite Rectangular Prism Worksheets (answers ...
To solve the problem of finding the total volume of the composite rectangular prisms, we need to break each figure into individual rectangular prisms, calculate the volume of each prism, and then sum the volumes. Let's go through each part step by step.
---
The figure consists of two rectangular prisms stacked on top of each other.
1. Top Prism:
- Dimensions: \( 14 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm} \times 5 \, \text{cm} \)
- Volume:
\[
V_{\text{top}} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} = 14 \times 3 \times 5 = 210 \, \text{cm}^3
\]
2. Bottom Prism:
- Dimensions: \( 14 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm} \times 5 \, \text{cm} \)
- Volume:
\[
V_{\text{bottom}} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} = 14 \times 3 \times 5 = 210 \, \text{cm}^3
\]
3. Total Volume:
\[
V_{\text{total}} = V_{\text{top}} + V_{\text{bottom}} = 210 + 210 = 420 \, \text{cm}^3
\]
Answer for (a):
\[
\boxed{420}
\]

The figure consists of three rectangular prisms.
1. Bottom Prism:
- Dimensions: \( 15 \, \text{in} \times 4 \, \text{in} \times 6 \, \text{in} \)
- Volume:
\[
V_{\text{bottom}} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} = 15 \times 4 \times 6 = 360 \, \text{in}^3
\]
2. Middle Prism:
- Dimensions: \( 7 \, \text{in} \times 4 \, \text{in} \times 3 \, \text{in} \)
- Volume:
\[
V_{\text{middle}} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} = 7 \times 4 \times 3 = 84 \, \text{in}^3
\]
3. Top Prism:
- Dimensions: \( 7 \, \text{in} \times 3 \, \text{in} \times 3 \, \text{in} \)
- Volume:
\[
V_{\text{top}} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} = 7 \times 3 \times 3 = 63 \, \text{in}^3
\]
4. Total Volume:
\[
V_{\text{total}} = V_{\text{bottom}} + V_{\text{middle}} + V_{\text{top}} = 360 + 84 + 63 = 507 \, \text{in}^3
\]
Answer for (b):
\[
\boxed{507}
