### Explaining Volume Formulas: Mastery Test

#### Diagrams:
There are two diagrams depicted in the image.

1. **First Diagram (Cube)**:
    - This is a cube with all sides labeled "L".
    
2. **Second Diagram (Rectangular Prism)**:
    - This is a rectangular prism with the height and base the same as the cube ("L"). However, the length of each of its slanted sides is labeled "L + 2".

#### Question:
The question below the diagrams asks:

"The cube in the image has a volume of 1,000 cubic feet. The other solid has the same base and height as the cube, but the length of each of its slanted sides is 2 units longer than the height. What is the volume of the tilted solid?"

#### Multiple Choice Options:
- A. 800 cubic feet
- B. 1,000 cubic feet
- C. 1,200 cubic feet
- D. 2,000 cubic feet

#### Selection:
Option **D. 2,000 cubic feet** is selected in the image.

#### Explanation:
To find the volume of the tilted solid (rectangular prism), follow these steps:
1. **Volume of the Cube**: 
   \[ V = L^3 \]
   - Given: Volume of the cube is 1,000 cubic feet.
   - Therefore: 
     \[ L^3 = 1,000 \]
     \[ L = 10 \text{ feet} \]

2. **Dimensions of Rectangular Prism**:
    - Height (h) = L = 10 feet
    - Base (b) = L = 10 feet
    - Length (l) = L + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12 feet

3. **Volume of Rectangular Prism**:
    \[ V = \text{b} \times \text{h} \times \text{l} \]
    \[ V = 10 \times 10 \times 12 \]
    \[ V = 1,200 \text{ cubic feet} \]

However, the selection from the multiple choice options shows 2,000 cubic feet, which deviates from this thorough calculation suggesting there might be an error in the pre-selected answer or implying a more complex insight required.
