To find the volume of the object we need to notice that is is made from two rectangular prisms:

• A prism with length 8 cm, width 6 cm and height 13 cm.

,

• A prism with length 3 cm, width 4 cm and height 7 cm.

Hence the volume is the sum of the volumes of the prisms.

The volume of a rectangular prims is given by:


V=lwh

Hence the volume of the object is:


\begin{gathered} V=(8)(6)(13)+(3)(4)(7) \\ V=624+84 \\ V=708 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the volume of the object is 708 cubic cm.
