The volume of any solid is the product of the base area and the height


V=b\mathrm{}A* h

Let us find the area of the base of the given figure and multiply it by the height

The base is a right triangle of legs 9 mm and 26 mm, then its area is


\begin{gathered} b\mathrm{}A=(1)/(2)*9*26 \\ b\mathrm{}A=177mm^2 \end{gathered}

The height of the solid is 24 mm, then


\begin{gathered} V=177*24 \\ V=2808mm^3 \end{gathered}

The volume of the figure is 2808 cubic mm
