\text{volume}=6000cm^3

Step-by-step explanation

to find the total volume, we can divide the entire container into 2 prisms(green and red)

so

the total volume= volume of the green prism+volume of the red prism

let


\text{volume}=\text{ side1}\cdot side2\cdot side3

then, replace,


\begin{gathered} thetotalvolume=volumeofthegreenprism+volumeoftheredprism \\ volume=(10\text{ cm}\cdot20\text{ cm}\cdot15\text{ cm)+}(10\text{ cm}\cdot20\text{ cm}\cdot15\text{ cm)} \\ \text{volume}=3000cm^3+3000cm^3 \\ \text{volume}=6000cm^3 \end{gathered}

I hope this helps you
