Composite Solids
•Definition:
• A solid that is composed, or made up of, two or more
solids.
Composite solids are
typically made of
prisms, pyramids,
cones, cylinders,
and spheres.
 Steps
If the multiple solids are next to each other…
1)Identify individual solids
2)Find the volume of each solid
3)Add the volumes to find the total
