Explanation:
The volume is define as:
![V=A_(base) h](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/xwqla6by0933uh9a2raiwioa64i4rirbu3.png)
In words, it's the product of the area of the base of the figure, and the height.
In this problem, each toy box is a unit cube in size, that is,
.
So, one easier way to solve this, it's by counting the total number of blocks. In the base, there are 15 blocks, which are 15 cubic units. Then, Rashad places 2 more blocks on top of each block in the base, that is, 2 times 16, which is 30. So, in total, there are 30+15=45 blocks that forms the figure, if each block is 1 cubic unit, then the volume is
