Calculating Volume of Solids

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a composite solid by dividing it into two sections. The top section has a known width and height, and the length is determined by the shared dimension of the solid. The bottom section's height is calculated by subtracting the top section's height from the total height. The volumes of both sections are calculated separately and then added together to find the total volume of the solid.

What is the first step in finding the volume of the given solid?

• Divide the solid into two parts.

• Ignore the missing lengths.

• Calculate the total volume directly.

• Find the surface area first.

What is the width of the top part of the solid?

• Seven

• Six

• Eight

• One

How is the volume of the top part calculated?

• By dividing the length by the width.

• By subtracting the height from the length.

• By multiplying width, height, and length.

• By adding the dimensions together.

What is the missing height of the bottom part of the solid?

• Two

• Nine

• Seven

• Six

How do you calculate the volume of the bottom part?

• By dividing the length by the height.

• By subtracting the height from the width.

• By adding the width and length.

• By multiplying the width, length, and height.

What is the total volume of the solid?

• 152 mm cubed

• 56 mm cubed

• 96 mm cubed

• 104 mm cubed

What is the final step in finding the total volume of the solid?

• Divide the volume of the top part by the bottom part.

• Subtract the volume of the bottom part from the top part.

• Multiply the volumes of the top and bottom parts.

• Add the volumes of the top and bottom parts.
