5/8/ B Volume and Surface Area of Composite Figures
COMPOSITE Figures COMPOSITE Figures: A figure made up of two or more three- dimensional shapes.
How to find Volume of composite shapes… Determine what individual shapes make up the larger shape itself. Find the volume of each shape separately. Add the volume of all of the shapes.
Example 1 Find the volume of the composite figure. Use 3.14 for π.
Example 1 V = πr 2 h V ≈ 3.14 ● ● 4 V ≈ 78.5 V = bwh V = 5 ● 3 ● 7 V = 105 Find the volume of each figure. Rectangular Prism Cylinder The total volume is about or cubic inches.
Example 2 A house is in the shape of the composite figure shown. Find the surface area of the composite figure. The composite figure is made up of two different figures: a rectangular prism and a rectangular pyramid.
Prism S.A.=2bh + bw + 2hw S.A.=2(8 ● 8) + (8 ● 7) + 2(8 ● 7) S.A.= S.A.=296
Pyramid The pyramid surfaces that you are finding are triangles with a height of 4 feet. Two of the triangles have a base of 8 feet and two have a base of 7 feet. The total surface area of the figure is or 356 square feet.
Example 3
What individual shapes make up the figure? The stepping stool is made up of 2 different rectangular prisms. Find the volume of each prism.
Find the volume of each shape separately then add… V = V = 1,344 V = V = 840 V = bwh 2,184 cubic inches Answer:The volume of the stepping stool is 1, or 2,184 cubic inches.
Example 4 V = πr²h 3 V = 84.8 ft³
How to find S.A. of composite shapes… Mentally separate the composite shape into their individual shapes. Find the S.A. of each shape. Add all of the surface areas together. Find the areas of each touching surface shape, then subtract those from the total S.A.
Example 5 We are going to use our steps to find the surface area of the stepping stool. Mentally separate the composite shape into simpler individual shapes.
A = bh + bh A = (14 10) + (6 7) A = 182 Remember: there are 2 of these sides A = bh A = A = 120 A = bh A = A = 168 Find the area of each outside surface of each shape.
A = Bh A = A = 192 A = Bh A = 6 12 A = 72 A = Bh A = 7 12 A = 84 Remember: there are 2 of these sides Find the area of each outside surface of each shape.
Add all of the areas together. The total surface area of the stepping stool is (2 182) (2 84) or 1,084 square inches. 182 x x2
