The volume of the component is the sum of the volumes of the larger and smaller rectangular prisms, giving us:
Vpart=Vlarger−Vsmaller
The volume of a retangular prism is V=lwh. For the larger prism, l=8 cm, w=4 cm, and h=5 cm. For the smaller prism, l=4 cm, w=1 cm, and h=5 cm. So,
Vpart=(8)(4)(5)−(4)(1)(5)
Vpart=160−20
Vpart=140 cm^3
So, the correct answer is choice B.
Leo chose D because instead of subtracting, he added the volume of the prisms which is incorrect.
