I got 164

Step by step:

You first want to find the volume of the rectangle.
Rectangular Volume = L x W x H

You want to multiply 5 x 8 x 2 = 80

Then you want to find the volume of the triangular prism

Triangular prism = 1/2 x B x H x L

You want to find the height of the top part of the triangular prism

So you subtract 5.5 - 2 = 3.5

3.5 = height

1/2 x 6 x 3.5 x 8 = 84

Lastly add both of the volumes up

84 + 80 = 164 ft

Not sure if it’s correct but it’s what I was able to do
