Concept 1. Composite Solids

Composite Solids
Here you’ll learn what a composite solid is and how to find its volume and surface area. What if you built a solid three-dimensional house model consisting of a pyramid on top of a square prism? How could you determine how much two-dimensional and three-dimensional space that model occupies? After completing this Concept, you’ll be able to find the surface area and volume of composite solids like this one.
Guidance
A composite solid is a solid that is composed, or made up of, two or more solids. The solids that it is made up of are generally prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders, and spheres. In order to find the surface area and volume of a composite solid, you need to know how to find the surface area and volume of prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders, and spheres. For more information on any of those specific solids, consult the concept that focuses on them. This concept will assume knowledge of those five solids. Most composite solids problems that you will see will be about volume, so most of the examples and practice problems below are about volume. There is one surface area example as well.
Example A
Find the volume of the solid below.
This solid is a parallelogram-based prism with a cylinder cut out of the middle.
Vprism = (25 · 25)30 = 18, 750 cm3 Vcylinder = π(4)2 (30) = 480π cm3 The total volume is 18750 − 480π ≈ 17, 242.04 cm3 .
Example B
Find the volume of the composite solid. All bases are squares. 1
www.ck12.org
This is a square prism with a square p pyramid on top. First, we need the height of the pyramid portion. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have, h = 252 − 242 = 7. Vprism = (48)(48)(18) = 41, 472 cm3 1 Vpyramid = (482 )(7) = 5376 cm3 3 The total volume is 41, 472 + 5376 = 46, 848 cm3 . Example C
Find the surface area of the following solid.
This solid is a cylinder with a hemisphere on top. It is one solid, so do not include the bottom of the hemisphere or the top of the cylinder.
SA = LAcylinder + LAhemisphere + Abase circle 1 = 2πrh + 4πr2 + πr2 2 = 2π(6)(13) + 2π62 + π62 = 156π + 72π + 36π = 264π in2
[U+0080][U+009C]LA[U+0080][U+009D] stands for lateral area.
Vocabulary
A composite solid is a solid that is composed, or made up of, two or more solids. Surface area is a two-dimensional measurement that is the total area of all surfaces that bound a solid. Volume is a three-dimensional measurement that is a measure of how much three-dimensional space a solid occupies. 2

Guided Practice
1. Find the volume of the following solid.
2. Find the volume of the base prism. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
3. Using your work from #2, find the volume of the pyramid and then of the entire solid. Answers: 1. Use what you know about cylinders and spheres. The top of the solid is a hemisphere.
Vcylinder = π62 (13) = 468π 1 4 3 π6 = 144π Vhemisphere = 2 3 Vtotal = 468π + 144π = 612π in3 2. Use what you know about prisms.
Vprism = B · h Vprism = (4 · 4) · 5 Vprism = 80in3 3. Use what you know about pyramids. 3

1 Vpyramid = B · h 3 1 Vpyramid = (4 · 4)(6) 3 Vpyramid = 32in3 Now find the total volume by finding the sum of the volumes of each solid.
Vtotal = Vprism +Vpyramid Vtotal = 112in3
