Question

8) At right is a rectangular prism with a hole cut through the center. This hole passes all the way through the prism. Create an expression for the volume of the shape. Remember: a) V = L x W x H. Express the volume of the large prism and subtract the volume of the inner hole. b) The volume of the shape is 40 cm³ Find the value of x

Step 1

To find the volume of the large prism, we need to know the length (L), width (W), and height (H) of the prism. Let's assume the length is L, the width is W, and the height is H. So, the volume of the large prism is V_large = L x W x H. Show more…
