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 12, the cap's height is 8, and the cap's radius is 4. What is the object's volume?

Volume of the object Vo=512+(2563)π780.08 cubic units

Explanation:

Prism's height Hp=12, Radius of sphere Rc=4, Height of cap Hc=8=Dc=2Rc

It's a sphere over square prism with side of square base and the diameter of sphere same. i.e. Sp=Dc=8

Volume of prism Vp=S2pHp=8212=512

Volume of sphere Vs=43πR3c=43π43=(2563)π

Volume of the object Vo=Vp+Vs=512+(2563)π780.08 cubic units
