Question

Find the volume of the composite solid.

Answer 1

Equal.

Explanation:

The volume of the rectangular prism is:

V = length x width x height

V = 3a x 2b x c

V = 6abc

The volume of the pyramid is:

V = (base area x height)/3

V = (a x b x 18c)/3

V = 18abc/3

V = 6abc

The two volumes are equal.
