Answer:

372
inches^(3)

Explanation:

Imagine the figures are each separate. The top figure's dimensions would be L=12 in, W=4 in, and H=4 in. The bottom figure's dimensions would be L=5 in, W=3 in, and H=12 in. So, do the volume formula for each: L x W x H and then add them together.

12 x 4 x 4 = 192 inches^3

5 x 3 x 12 = 180 inches^3

192 + 180 = 372 inches^3

Answer: 372in³

Explanation:

All we have to do is find the volume of the two separate rectangular prisms and add them up.

First we will find the volume of the standing prism:

5in * 3in * 12in = 180in³

Now the other prism:

12in * 4in * 4in = 192in³

Now add them up:

180in³ + 192in³ = 372in³
