Correct answer:

1496

Explanation:

To find the volume of the prism, use the following formula:

$\text{Volume of Prism}=\text{Area of Base}\times \text{height}$

Since the base of this prism is a triangle, find the area of a triangle.

$\text{Area of Triangle}=\frac{\text{base}\times \text{height}}{2}$

$\text{Area of Triangle}=\frac{8\times 17}{2}=68$

Now, plug in the area of the base and the height of the prism to find the volume.

$\text{Volume of Prism}=68\times 22=1496$

Example Question #54 : How To Find The Volume Of A Prism

A cylinder is cut in half and placed on top of a rectangular prism as shown by the figure below.

Find the volume of the figure.

Possible Answers:

190.24

157.70

151.24

167.23

Correct answer:

157.70

Explanation:

In order to find the volume of the figure, we will first need to find the volumes of the rectangular prism and the half cylinder.

From the figure, you should notice that the length of the prism is also the diameter of the half cylinder. Thus, half the length of the prism will also be the radius of the half cylinder. Also, notice that the width of the prism will be the height of the cylinder.

For the given cylinder then, find the radius.

$\text{radius}=\frac{\text{length}}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2$

Then, recall how to find the volume of a cylinder:

$\text{Volume of Cylinder}=\pi r^2 h$ , where is the radius and is the height.

Divide the volume by to find the volume of the half cylinder.

$\text{Volume of Half Cylinder}=\frac{\pi r^2 h}{2}$

$\text{Volume of Half Cylinder}=\frac{\pi (2^2)(6)}{2}=12\pi$

Next, recall how to find the volume of a rectangular prism.

$\text{Volume of Rectangular Prism}=\text{length}\times\text{width}\times\text{height}$

Plug in the given values to find the volume of the rectangular prism.

$\text{Volume of Rectangular Prism}=(4)(6)(5)=120$

To find the volume of the figure, add the volume of the half cylinder and the volume of the rectangular prism together.

$\text{Volume of Figure}=\text{Volume of Half Cylinder}+\text{Volume of Rectangular Prism}$

$\text{Volume of Figure}=12\pi+120=157.70$

Remember to round to places after the decimal.

Example Question #55 : How To Find The Volume Of A Prism

A cylinder is cut in half and placed on top of a rectangular prism as shown by the figure below.

Find the volume of the figure.

Possible Answers:

390.24

405.78

401.10

424.96

Correct answer:

401.10

Explanation:

In order to find the volume of the figure, we will first need to find the volumes of the rectangular prism and the half cylinder.

For the given cylinder then, find the radius.

$\text{radius}=\frac{\text{length}}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3$

Then, recall how to find the volume of a cylinder:

$\text{Volume of Cylinder}=\pi r^2 h$ , where is the radius and is the height.

Divide the volume by to find the volume of the half cylinder.

$\text{Volume of Half Cylinder}=\frac{\pi r^2 h}{2}$

$\text{Volume of Half Cylinder}=\frac{\pi (3^2)(8)}{2}=36\pi$

Next, recall how to find the volume of a rectangular prism.

$\text{Volume of Rectangular Prism}=\text{length}\times\text{width}\times\text{height}$

Plug in the given values to find the volume of the rectangular prism.

$\text{Volume of Rectangular Prism}=(6)(8)(6)=288$

To find the volume of the figure, add the volume of the half cylinder and the volume of the rectangular prism together.

$\text{Volume of Figure}=\text{Volume of Half Cylinder}+\text{Volume of Rectangular Prism}$

$\text{Volume of Figure}=36\pi+288=401.10$

Remember to round to places after the decimal.

Example Question #56 : How To Find The Volume Of A Prism

A cylinder is cut in half and placed on top of a rectangular prism as shown by the figure below.

Find the volume of the figure.

Possible Answers:

2221.20

2334.29

2501.20

2471.68

Correct answer:

2471.68

Explanation:

In order to find the volume of the figure, we will first need to find the volumes of the rectangular prism and the half cylinder.

For the given cylinder then, find the radius.

$\text{radius}=\frac{\text{length}}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6$

Then, recall how to find the volume of a cylinder:

$\text{Volume of Cylinder}=\pi r^2 h$ , where is the radius and is the height.

Divide the volume by to find the volume of the half cylinder.

$\text{Volume of Half Cylinder}=\frac{\pi r^2 h}{2}$

$\text{Volume of Half Cylinder}=\frac{\pi (6^2)(14)}{2}=252\pi$

Next, recall how to find the volume of a rectangular prism.

$\text{Volume of Rectangular Prism}=\text{length}\times\text{width}\times\text{height}$

Plug in the given values to find the volume of the rectangular prism.

$\text{Volume of Rectangular Prism}=(12)(14)(10)=1680$

To find the volume of the figure, add the volume of the half cylinder and the volume of the rectangular prism together.

$\text{Volume of Figure}=\text{Volume of Half Cylinder}+\text{Volume of Rectangular Prism}$

$\text{Volume of Figure}=252\pi+1680=2471.68$

Remember to round to places after the decimal.
