About this worksheet

What students practice

Students find the volume of a solid made of two rectangular prisms by adding their volumes.
Students choose an expression that shows the total volume of two non-overlapping prisms.
Students use a total volume and one part's volume to find the other part's volume.

How to use

Have students sketch each solid and label the two prisms before they compute. Ask them to find each prism's volume first, then add, and to label answers in cubic units.

Making a Splash: Volumes at the Community Pool

Split each solid into two rectangular prisms, then add their volumes.

Add the two parts

Each solid is made of two rectangular prisms that do not overlap. Find each volume, then add.

The community pool has a shallow part and a deep part. The shallow part is 10 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 1 meter deep. The deep part is 6 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 3 meters deep.

Shallow part: cubic meters
Deep part: cubic meters
Whole pool: cubic meters

The splash pad fountain stands on a concrete base made of two prisms. The bottom block is 5 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet high. The top block is 2 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 3 feet high.

Total volume of the base = cubic feet

The concrete steps into the pool are made of two prisms. The bottom step is 6 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 1 foot high. The top step sits on it and is 6 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 1 foot high.

Total volume of the steps = cubic feet
