Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will calculate the volume of each rectangular prism separately and then sum these volumes:

  • Rectangular Prism 1: The prism with a square base has dimensions as follows:
    • Side length of the square base = 5 units
    • Height = 9 units
  • The volume of a rectangular prism with a square base is given by V=side2×height V = \text{side}^2 \times \text{height} .
  • Substituting the given values: V1=52×9=25×9=225 cubic units V_1 = 5^2 \times 9 = 25 \times 9 = 225 \text{ cubic units} .
  • Rectangular Prism 2: The second prism's dimensions:
    • Length = 3 units
    • Width = 2 units
    • Height = 4 units
  • The volume of this rectangular prism is calculated as V=length×width×height V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} .
  • Substituting the given values: V2=3×2×4=24 cubic units V_2 = 3 \times 2 \times 4 = 24 \text{ cubic units} .

Finally, adding the volumes of the two prisms gives us the total volume:

Vtotal=V1+V2=225+24=249 cubic units V_{\text{total}} = V_1 + V_2 = 225 + 24 = 249 \text{ cubic units} .

Therefore, the volume of the new shape is 249 249 cubic units.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Calculate the volume of one smaller cuboid.
  • Step 2: Multiply the volume of one smaller cuboid by the number of cuboids (5) to find the total volume of the large cuboid.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The dimensions for each smaller cuboid are given as:

  • Length: 4cm 4 \, \text{cm}
  • Width: 2cm 2 \, \text{cm}
  • Height: 5cm 5 \, \text{cm}
Using the volume formula for a cuboid, we find the volume of one smaller cuboid:
Vsmall=4×2×5=40cm3 V_{\text{small}} = 4 \times 2 \times 5 = 40 \, \text{cm}^3
Step 2: Since there are 5 such smaller cuboids, the total volume for the large cuboid is:
Vlarge=5×40=200cm3 V_{\text{large}} = 5 \times 40 = 200 \, \text{cm}^3

Therefore, the volume of the large cuboid is 200cm3 200 \, \text{cm}^3 .

Answer

200 cm³

BC=4 AB=5 BK=3

What is the volume of the large cuboid minus the small cuboid?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, we'll start by calculating the volume of the small cuboid.

Step 1: Volume of the small cuboid
The small cuboid dimensions are AB=5AB = 5, BC=4BC = 4, and BK=3BK = 3. Hence, its volume is:

V=5×4×3=60cm3 V = 5 \times 4 \times 3 = 60 \, \text{cm}^3

Step 2: Volume of the large cuboid
Since the small cuboid fits four times into the large cuboid, the volume of the large cuboid is:

4×60=240cm3 4 \times 60 = 240 \, \text{cm}^3

Step 3: Volume of the large cuboid minus the small cuboid
Subtracting the volume of the small cuboid from the large cuboid, we have:

24060=180cm3 240 - 60 = 180 \, \text{cm}^3

Thus, the volume of the large cuboid minus the small cuboid is 180cm3\boxed{180 \, \text{cm}^3}.

Answer

180 cm³

Exercise #4

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will derive the dimensions of the cuboid using the given volume and side BK, and then find the area of triangle ABC.

We start with the given information:
- Volume of the cuboid: 120cm3 120 \, \text{cm}^3
- Side BK=4cm BK = 4 \, \text{cm}

The volume formula of the cuboid is:
V=l×w×h=120cm3 V = l \times w \times h = 120 \, \text{cm}^3

We assume BK=h=4cm BK = h = 4 \, \text{cm} , leading to:
l×w×4=120 l \times w \times 4 = 120
l×w=1204=30 l \times w = \frac{120}{4} = 30

Now, to get the area of triangle ABC, which forms a right triangle with sides l l and w w being the base and height, respectively, we use:
A=12×l×w=12×30=15cm2 A = \frac{1}{2} \times l \times w = \frac{1}{2} \times 30 = 15 \, \text{cm}^2

Thus, the area of triangle ABC is 15cm2 15 \, \text{cm}^2 .

Answer

15 cm²

Exercise #5

50 ml of liquid is poured into a rectangular prism with a volume of 150 cm.

The distance between the water line and the top of the rectangular prism is 3 cm.

What is the value of Y, which represents the height of the water?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Calculate the base area of the rectangular prism.
  • Step 2: Use the base area to find the height of the water, Y Y .

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: The volume of the rectangular prism is given as 150 cm3^3. Let's denote the height of the prism without any liquid as H H , and the gap from the water line to the top of the prism is 3 cm. Thus, the total height is H3 H - 3 . The water volume given is 50 cm3^3, which means the volume occupied by the air is:

15050=100 150 - 50 = 100 cm3^3.

Since the gap is 3 cm (the height of air column), the base area A A can be calculated as:

A×3=100 A \times 3 = 100 .

This implies A=100333.3 A = \frac{100}{3} \approx 33.\overline{3} cm2^2.

Step 2: Now, to find Y Y (the height of water):

We use the formula for the volume of water in the prism:

A×Y=50 A \times Y = 50 ,

where A=33.3 A = 33.\overline{3} cm2^2. Therefore,

Y=5033.3=1.5 Y = \frac{50}{33.\overline{3}} = 1.5 cm.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is Y=1.5cm Y = 1.5 \, \text{cm} .
