The stairway shown is made out of solid concrete. the height of each step is four inches and the width is 10 inches. the length is 6 inches. what is the volume, in cubic inches, of the concrete used to create this stairway?

The volume of the stairway is

720 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the stairway is equal to the volume of two rectangular prism

The volume of the rectangular prism is equal to

Find the volume of the larger rectangular prism

we have

substitute

Find the volume of the smaller rectangular prism

we have

substitute

Find the volume of the stairway

Adds the two volumes

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the volume of concrete used to create the stairway given in the picture.

Volume of the stairway = volume of small stairway + volume of larger stairway

Dimensions of Large stairway = 10 in × 6 in × (4+4)in

                                                 = 10 in × 6 in × 8 in.

Therefore, volume of large stairway = 480 in³

Dimensions of small stairway = 10 in × 6 in × 4 in

                                                = 240 in³

Total volume = 480 + 240

                     = 720 in³

Option B is the answer.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

you,

mrb

.there can be infinite values of m and n that can satisfy the above equation. for each value of m of m or n. there maybe infinite sets of solution for the above
