Solid Mensuration Problems and Answers PDF

This document contains 6 multi-step word problems involving geometry concepts like volumes and surface areas of shapes. The shapes include triangular prisms, rectangular solids, oblique parallelepipeds, and prisms with regular polygon bases. The problems require setting up and solving equations to find requested values like volumes, lengths, angles, and areas. Bonus problem 6 asks what the volumes would be if the prism were cut by a vertical plane through line AE.
