Answer: 300 cubic inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Imagine slicing the T shape into two pieces such that we have two rectangular blocks.
- The larger block down below has volume of 3*12*5 = 180 cubic inches.
- The smaller block on top has volume of 8*3*5 = 120 cubic inches
The overall volume of this T shape is 180+120 = 300 cubic inches.
