(See attached image)

Answer 1

First, find the volume of the pyramid on top:

(2.5 * 3 * 1.5) / 3 = 3.25

Then, find the volume of the rectangular prism:

2.5 * 3 * 2 = 15

Add the two volumes together:

3.25 + 15 = 18.25

To explain: you found the volume of each separate part and added it together.

Answer 2

V = 18.75

Method: First find the area of the pyramid on top, then find the area of the rectangular prism below.

V of the pyramid = 3.75 ft³

V of the rectangular prism = 15 ft³

3.75 + 15 = 18.75

Hope this helped!! :)
