This video tutorial explains how to find the volume of compound shapes, using examples of a granary and silos. It covers visualizing objects as separate elements, calculating the volume of each part, and combining them to find the total volume. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding dimensions and converting word problems into visual diagrams.

What is a compound shape?

• A shape made of a single geometric figure

• A shape composed of multiple geometric figures

• A shape that cannot be divided into simpler shapes

• A shape with no defined volume

How tall is the granary in the example?

• 29 meters

• 5 meters

• 20 meters

• 10 meters

What is the first step in solving compound volume problems?

• Visualize the object as separate elements

• Use only one formula for all shapes

• Calculate the total volume directly

• Ignore the dimensions

What is the shape of the top of the silo?

• Semi-sphere

• Cone

• Rectangular prism

• Cylinder

What is the formula for the volume of a sphere?

• Pi r squared

• Four-thirds pi r cubed
