17. Lesson Review
When calculating the volume of an object made of two or more rectangular prisms, break that object into separate rectangular prisms first.
Next, calculate the volume of each of the rectangular prisms.
Finally, add the volumes together to find the total volume of the object.

18. Quick Check In your Math Notebook In 1 and 2, use the shape below.
What are the length, width, and height of prism A? Prism B?
2. How else could you separate the shape into two rectangular prisms?

19. Good Work with this lesson.
Today you learned how to find the volume of an object that is made up of two rectangular prisms.
