To find the volume of a garage that is a composite of shapes, the correct way would be:
Add the volume of a rectangular prism to the volume of a triangular prism.
Explanation: A garage typically has a rectangular base (the main structure, which is a rectangular prism) and may also have a triangular part (like a roof or an extension). To find the total volume, you would calculate the volume of each individual shape and then add them together. This approach gives you the combined volume of both shapes accurately.
