Answer:

470 cm³

Explanation:

Decompose the prism into two rectangular prism.

Prism 1 will have the following dimensions and volume:

Length = 10 cm

Height = 8 cm

Width = 9 - 5 = 4 cm

Volume = L × W × H

Volume = 10 × 8 × 4 = 320 cm³

Prism 2:

Length = 10 cm

Height = 3 cm

Width = 5 cm

Volume = 10 × 3 × 5 = 150 cm³

✔️Volume of the entire prism = 320 + 150 = 470 cm³
