Answer:
Vol = 252 cubic ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the bottom and top of the shape separately. Calculate the volumes and add them together.
Bottom of the shape is a prism. Volume of a prism:
V =
Base Area•Height
The base is a triangle. Use Area of a triangle formula:
A = 1/2b•h
A = 1/2(7)(6)
A = 21
Use 21 for Base Area for both parts of the volume calculation.
Vol of prism, continued:
V = 21•9
V = 189
Volume of a pyramid (top)
V = 1/3•BaseArea•Ht
=1/3(21)(9)
=63
Total Volume=
189 + 63
= 252 cubic ft
