Answer: 875 cubic feet

Explanation:

Notice that everywhere you look, the figure is 5 feet deep. That is constant everywhere.

Then, you need to cut the figure up into 3 parts to really see what is going on.

Take the left downward-pointing rectangular block and make a vertical cut at its right side. Take the right upward-pointing rectangular block and make a vertical cut at its left side.

That leaves a piece in the middle, 10 feet long, for a total of 3 pieces,

Then you wind up with the picture I have attached.

For the resulting 3 pieces have dimensions

5 * 5 * 10 = 250 cubic feet

5 * 10 * 5 = 250 cubic feet

5 * 5 * 15 = 375 cubic feet

That all adds up to 875 cubic feet.

Hope this helps.
