Question

find the volume of both figures in cubic centimeters rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

We are given a figure and we are asked to determine its volume. The given figure is a straight prism, therefore, the volume is given by:

$V=A_bh$

Where:

$\begin{gathered} A_b=\text{ area of the base} \\ h=\text{ height} \end{gathered}$

Substituting the values we get:

$V=(20\operatorname{cm})(5\operatorname{cm})$

Solving the operation:

$V=100\operatorname{cm}^3$

Therefore, the volume of figure A is 100 cubic centimeters. The same procedure can be used to determine the volume of figure B.
