Solution

The total clay used is equal to the sum of volumes of two triangular and three rectangular pyramids.

For Rectangular Pyramid,

Volume of three rectangular pyramids

[tex]3 * \frac{BH}{3} = BH[/tex]

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

[tex]15.5 * 5 = 77.5[/tex] cubic centimeter

For triangular Pyramid,

Volume of two  triangular pyramids

[tex]2 * \frac{BH}{3}\\2 * \frac{10 * 7}{3}[/tex]

[tex]46.67[/tex]  cubic centimeter

Total clay used = Volume of 3 rectangular pyramid + volume of 2 triangular pyramid [tex]= 77.7 + 46.67 = 124.16[/tex] Cubic centimeter
