Tia made a two layer cake.Each layer is a rectangular prism that is 2 inch height.The base of the bottom layer is 100 square inches.The base of the top layer is 64 square inches.What is the total volume of the cake?

Respuesta :

Answer:

328 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Tia made a two layer cake.

Each layer is a rectangular prism that is 2 inch height.

The base of the bottom layer is 100 square inches.

The base of the top layer is 64 square inches.

Question asked:

What is the total volume of the cake?

Solution:

First of all we will find volume of each layer cake and then add both of the volumes:-

Volume of bottom layer cake = Base of the cake [tex]\times[/tex] height

                                                 =  100 square inches [tex]\times[/tex] 2 inches

                                                 = 200 cubic inches

Similarly:-

Volume of top layer cake = Base of the cake [tex]\times[/tex] height

                                          =  64 square inches [tex]\times[/tex] 2 inches

                                          = 128 cubic inches

Total volume of the cake = Volume of bottom layer + Volume of top layer

                                          = 200 cubic inches + 128 cubic inches

                                          = 328 cubic inches

Thus, the total volume of the cake is 328 cubic inches.
