find the volume of the composite solid below round your answer to the nearest cubic centimeter

Radius = Diameter ÷ 2
Radius = 9 ÷ 2 = 4.5 cm
-
Volume of the semi-circle prism = 1/2 πr² h
Volume = 1/2 π (4.5)² (42) = 1336 cm³
-
Volume of he rectangle prism = L x W x H
Volume = 42 x 35 x 9 = 13230 cm³
-
Total volume = 1336 + 13230 = 14566 cm³
-
Answer: 14566 cm³
It would be easier if we split the composite solid into a rectangular prism and a half of a cylinder.
The volume of the prism is easy: length * width * height: 35 * 9 * 42 = 13230 cm cubed.
The half of the cylinder is just: (pi * r^2 * h)/2
The diameter is 9, so the radius is 4.5. The height is 42. So:
(pi * 4.5^2 * 42)/2 is about 1335.96
1335.96 + 13230 = 14565.96 or, rounding up, 14566 cm cubed.
