Find the volume of the object.
V = ?
m3

Volume is found by multiplying the length by the width by the height.
Using the dotted line, this can be broken down to 2 different shapes.
Find the volume for each shape then add them together.
7 x 3 x 3 = 63
3 x 3 x 1 = 9
Total volume = 63 + 9 = 72 m^3
The figure is obtained by stacking together two rectangular prisms.
The large one, on the left, has dimensions 7,3 and 3 cm.
The small one, on the right, has dimensions 1, 3 and 3.
The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the product of its dimensions, so the two volumes are
[tex] V_1 = 7\times 3\times 3 = 63,\quad V_2 = 1\times 3\times 3 = 9 [/tex]
Since the two rectangular prisms don't intersect, the volume of the whole figure is simply the sum of the two volumes:
[tex] V_{\text{tot}} = 63+9 = 72 [/tex]
