Answer:

V = 160 yd³

Explanation:

the composite figure is composed of two cuboids

the volume (V) of a cuboid is calculated as

V = length × width × height

The dimensions of the cuboid on the left are

length = 4 yd, width = 2 yd , height = 12 yd

V = 4 × 2 × 12 = 96 yd³

the dimensions of the cuboid on the right are

length = 8 yd , width = 2 yd , height = 4 yd

V = 8 × 2 × 4 = 64 yd³

The total volume is then the sum of the two cuboids volumes

V = 96 + 64 = 160 yd³
