Step-by-step solution

5 steps

The solid shown is a composite figure made of a triangular prism and a triangular pyramid on top.

  1. Calculate the height and area of the triangular base.

    The base is an isosceles triangle with sides 10 m10 \text{ m}, 10 m10 \text{ m}, and 12 m12 \text{ m}. To find its height (hbh_b), we can split it into two right-angled triangles. The base of each right triangle will be 12 m/2=6 m12 \text{ m} / 2 = 6 \text{ m}, and the hypotenuse will be 10 m10 \text{ m}.
    Using the Pythagorean theorem:

    hb2+62=102h_b^2 + 6^2 = 10^2 hb2+36=100h_b^2 + 36 = 100 hb2=64h_b^2 = 64 hb=8 mh_b = 8 \text{ m}

    The area of the base triangle (AbA_b) is:

    Ab=12×base×hb=12×12 m×8 m=48 m2A_b = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times h_b = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \text{ m} \times 8 \text{ m} = 48 \text{ m}^2
  2. Calculate the volume of the triangular prism.

    The height of the prism (HprismH_{\text{prism}}) is given as 8 m8 \text{ m}.

    Vprism=Ab×Hprism=48 m2×8 m=384 m3V_{\text{prism}} = A_b \times H_{\text{prism}} = 48 \text{ m}^2 \times 8 \text{ m} = 384 \text{ m}^3
  3. Calculate the height of the triangular pyramid.

    The pyramid has the same triangular base. All its slant edges are given as 10 m10 \text{ m}. For a right pyramid with equal slant edges, the apex is directly above the circumcenter of the base.
    First, find the circumradius (RR) of the base triangle. For an isosceles triangle with equal sides a=10 ma=10 \text{ m} and base b=12 mb=12 \text{ m}, and height hb=8 mh_b=8 \text{ m}:

    R=a22hb=1022×8=10016=254=6.25 mR = \frac{a^2}{2h_b} = \frac{10^2}{2 \times 8} = \frac{100}{16} = \frac{25}{4} = 6.25 \text{ m}

    Now, use the Pythagorean theorem with the slant edge (10 m10 \text{ m}), the circumradius (RR), and the pyramid height (HpyramidH_{\text{pyramid}}):

    Hpyramid2+R2=(slant edge)2H_{\text{pyramid}}^2 + R^2 = (\text{slant edge})^2 Hpyramid2+(254)2=102H_{\text{pyramid}}^2 + \left(\frac{25}{4}\right)^2 = 10^2 Hpyramid2+62516=100H_{\text{pyramid}}^2 + \frac{625}{16} = 100 Hpyramid2=100−62516=1600−62516=97516H_{\text{pyramid}}^2 = 100 - \frac{625}{16} = \frac{1600 - 625}{16} = \frac{975}{16} Hpyramid=97516=9754=25×394=5394 mH_{\text{pyramid}} = \sqrt{\frac{975}{16}} = \frac{\sqrt{975}}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{25 \times 39}}{4} = \frac{5\sqrt{39}}{4} \text{ m}
  4. Calculate the volume of the triangular pyramid.

    Vpyramid=13×Ab×Hpyramid=13×48 m2×5394 mV_{\text{pyramid}} = \frac{1}{3} \times A_b \times H_{\text{pyramid}} = \frac{1}{3} \times 48 \text{ m}^2 \times \frac{5\sqrt{39}}{4} \text{ m} Vpyramid=16×5394 m3=4×539 m3=2039 m3V_{\text{pyramid}} = 16 \times \frac{5\sqrt{39}}{4} \text{ m}^3 = 4 \times 5\sqrt{39} \text{ m}^3 = 20\sqrt{39} \text{ m}^3
  5. Calculate the total volume of the solid.

    The total volume is the sum of the prism's volume and the pyramid's volume.

    Vtotal=Vprism+VpyramidV_{\text{total}} = V_{\text{prism}} + V_{\text{pyramid}} Vtotal=384 m3+2039 m3V_{\text{total}} = 384 \text{ m}^3 + 20\sqrt{39} \text{ m}^3

    As a numerical approximation:

    39≈6.245\sqrt{39} \approx 6.245 Vtotal≈384+20×6.245=384+124.9=508.9 m3V_{\text{total}} \approx 384 + 20 \times 6.245 = 384 + 124.9 = 508.9 \text{ m}^3

    The volume of the solid is 384+2039 m3≈508.9 m3384 + 20\sqrt{39} \text{ m}^3 \approx 508.9 \text{ m}^3.
