Answer:
Volume of the figure= 312 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay let's split this figure up into two different rectangles. Let's draw the line at the part of the rectangle that is nearest us (looking at the picture). The little part where it says 6 yd. and 4 yd.
We know volume is V= lwh
Start with the main rectangle (bigger one)
I see l=12, w=11, and h=2
So V(of main rectangle)=12x11x2
V(of main rectangle)=264
We have to go do the smaller rectangle now
I see l=4, w=6, but I know the h=2 because the height is the same as the main triangle.
So V(of smaller rectangle)=6x4x2
V(of smaller rectangle)=48
Now knowing the volume of the main and smaller rectangle, we have to add them to find the volume of the figure.
V(of smaller rectangle) + V(of main rectangle)
264 + 48
Volume of the figure= 312 yd²
