a) Find the volume of the shaded figure by subtracting the smaller volume from the larger. The formula for the volume of a rectangular solid is V=lwh. b) Write the expression obtained in part a) in factored form.

Answer:
Part A - 2a*2b Part B- 2(a*b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A)
V=lwh of larger prism - lwh of smaller prism
=9a*a*a-9a*b*b
=11a-9a*2b
=2a*2b
Part B)
2a*2b
=2(a*b)
