How to calculate the volume of composite shapes?

Composite shapes are made up of two or more shapes. According to the given question, the buoy is made up of a cone and sphere.

The volume of the buoy = volume of sphere + volume of the cone

Find the volume of the sphere

Vs = 4/3πr³
Vs = 4/3π(9)³
Vs = 972π cubic feet

Find the volume of the cone

Vc = 1/3πr²h
Vc = 1/3π(9)²(15)
Vc = 405π cubic feet

Find the volume of composite shape (buoy)
V = Vs + Vc
V =  972π + 405π
V = 1377π cubic feet

Hence the volume of the buoy in exact form is V = 1377π cubic feet
