Example Question #411 : Measurement & Data

Mason has a pool in his backyard that is . He wants to add a baby-pool that is . What will be the total volume of his pools? 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem we simply need to remember that volume is additive. This means that we can add our two volumes together to find the combined, total volume.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If you look closely at this figure, you can see that it is made up of two rectangular prisms. In order to solve for the volume, we need to find the volume of each rectangular prism and then add the volumes together to find the total.

In order to find the length of the rectangular prism on the right, we had to take the length of the original figure (which was ) and subtract the length of the rectangular prism on the left (which is )

Now that we have the dimensions of both our rectangular prisms, we can solve for the volumes. 

Remember, the formula for volume is 

   and 

         and 

Next, we add the volumes together to solve for the total volume of the original figure.

*Remember, volume is always measured in cubic units!
