Volume of a Combination of Solids
Volume of a Combination of Solids: Overview
This topic helps us in finding the volume of solids, which are a combination of basic solids. It mentions that a circle tent consisting of a cylindrical base surmounted by a conical roof is a combination of two or more basic solids.
