Calculating Volume - Cycle 2

Two half-cubes form a whole unit cube.

Follow these steps to calculate the volume of a solid.

1. If there are half cubes, join them to form whole unit cubes.
2. Count the total number of unit cubes, including those formed using the half cubes.

Remember to include the unit cubes that are not visible.

Example:

When looking at this image, I only see 4 unit cubes.

What is the volume of the following solid?

If there are half cubes, I join them to form whole unit cubes. I form 1 unit cube using 2 half cubes.
I count the total number of unit cubes, including those formed using the half cubes.

The volume of this solid is 7 cubic units.

If a solid has an odd number of half cubes, calculate the volume of the figure in terms of half cubes. To do this, divide each unit cube into two half cubes.

Example: The volume of this solid is 13 half-cubic units.
