The bases (AB and CD) of the granite block shown in the sketch lie in parallel planes; the 12ft and 20ft edges are parallel; also 8ft and 16ft edges are parallel. Find the altitude of the block, if its volume is 4736cu.ft.
Cylinders
A cylinder is a three-dimensional solid shape with two parallel and congruent circular bases, joined by a curved surface at a fixed distance. A cylinder has an infinite curvilinear surface.
Cones
A cone is a three-dimensional solid shape having a flat base and a pointed edge at the top. The flat base of the cone tapers smoothly to form the pointed edge known as the apex. The flat base of the cone can either be circular or elliptical. A cone is drawn by joining the apex to all points on the base, using segments, lines, or half-lines, provided that the apex and the base both are in different planes.
Solid Mensuration: Prismatoid
The bases (AB and CD) of the granite block shown in the sketch lie in parallel planes; the 12ft and 20ft edges are parallel; also 8ft and 16ft edges are parallel. Find the altitude of the block, if its volume is 4736cu.ft.
