An object is made of a prism with a spherical cap on its square shaped top. The cap's base has a diameter equal to the lengths of the top. The prism's height is 3 , the cap's height is 7 , and the cap's radius is 2 . What is the object's volume?

see a step process below;

Explanation:

Using this formula;

"vol of the spherical cap" + "volume of the prism" = "volume of the object"

The spherical cap will take the shape of an hemisphere
Vol of hemisphere =2/3πr^3

The square prism will take d shape of a cube,
Vol of a cube =l^3

Vol of the object =2/3πr^3 + l^3

Vol of the object = (2/3π xx 2^3) + (7^3)

Vol of the object = (2/3π xx 8) + 343

Vol of the object = 16/3π + 343

Taking LCM

Vol of the object = 16/3π + 343/1

Vol of the object =(16 + 1029)/3π

Vol of the object = 1045/3π

Hope this helps!
