To resolve the de problem we must find the volume of both prisms, the rectangle, and the triangle. As we have available all the information of them, we proceed to calculate each volume
[tex]\begin{gathered} V_R=(36cm\times30cm)\cdot6cm=1080cm^2\cdot6cm=6480cm^3 \\ V_T=(\frac{15cm\times20cm}{2})\cdot6cm=\frac{300cm^2}{2}\cdot6cm=900cm^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Now, subtracting one from the other as we mentioned
[tex]6480cm^3-900cm^3=5580cm^3[/tex][tex]6480cm^3-900cm^3=5580cm^3[/tex]
Thus, 5580 cm^3 cubic centimeters of foam are used to package this product. The correct answer is D.
