Answer 1

According to the image, we have to find the volume of a composite figure. As you can observe, it's formed by 2 figures where the volume of each of them follows the following rule: V = w x l x h.

In other words, we just need to multiply.

`\begin{gathered} V_1=12m\cdot5m\cdot8m=480m^3 \\ V_2=22m\cdot5m\cdot8m=880m^3 \end{gathered}`

Then, we add these volumes to find the total.

`V_{\text{total}}=480m^3^{}^{}+880m^3^{}=1,360m^3`

Hence, the volume of the figure is 1,360 cubic meters.
