Respuesta :

Volume of rectangular prism = length * width * height

Volume of triangular prism =( length * height * base )/2

Given,

Volume of rectangular prism  = 18 + volume of triangular prism

[tex]6*x*3 = 18 + \frac{7*x*4}{2}[/tex]

18x = 18+14x

4x=18

x= 4.5 ft

So volume of rectangular prism = 6* 4.5* 3 = 81 ft³

Volume of triangular prism = (7* 4.5 * 4) / 2 = 63 ft³
