Question

Find the volume of the prism or compound shape.

Answer 1

Volume of a sphere = (4/3pi)(r^3) = [(4/3 x 3.14)(27)]in^3 = 113.04in^3.
Since there are two “half spheres”, their area is: (113.04 x 2)in^3 = 226.08in^3.

Volume of a cylinder = (pi)(r^2)(height) = [(3.14)(9)(10)]in^3 = 282.6in^3.

Total volume = (282.6 + 226.08)in^3 = 508.68in^3.
