Find the volume of the solid shown or described. If necessary round to the nearest tenth. What is the volume of the shed?

Volume of shed = 38 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length = 5 m

Width = 2 m

Height of wall = 3 m

Height of triangular shed = 1.6 m

Find:

Volume of shed

Computation:

Volume of shed = Volume of walls + Volume of triangular shed

Volume of shed = [lbh] + [1/2][Base area]h

Volume of shed = [(5)(2)(3)] + [1/2][(5)(2)]1.6

Volume of shed = [30] + [8]

Volume of shed = 38 m³

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
