A new solid is created by cutting a right rectangular prism from a cube. The right rectangular prism has a length
of 5 m, a width of 4 m, and a height of 2 m. The side lengths of the cube are 5 m
What is the volume of the solid?

Respuesta :

Volume of solid created  = [tex]85m^{3}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We have , A new solid is created by cutting a right rectangular prism from a cube. The right rectangular prism has a length  of 5 m, a width of 4 m, and a height of 2 m. The side lengths of the cube are 5 m . Volume of solid created = Volume of cube  - Volume of rectangular prism

Volume of cube = [tex]side^{3}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]Volume1 = side^{3}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]Volume1 = 5^{3}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]Volume1 = 125m^{3}[/tex]

Volume of rectangular prism = [tex]wlh[/tex]

⇒ [tex]Volume2 = wlh[/tex]

⇒ [tex]Volume2 = 5(4)(2)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]Volume2 = 40m^{3}[/tex]

Now,  Volume of solid created = Volume of cube  - Volume of rectangular prism

⇒ Volume of solid created  = [tex]Volume1 - Volume2[/tex]

⇒ Volume of solid created  = [tex]125m^{3} - 40m^{3}[/tex]

⇒ Volume of solid created  = [tex]85m^{3}[/tex]

Volume of solid created  = [tex]85m^{3}[/tex].
