Let's begin by identifying key information given to us:

This a composite shape composed of a rectangular prism & a triangular prism

The volume of this shape is calculated as shown below:


\begin{gathered} V(total)=V(rec)+V(tri) \\ V(total)=(l\cdot w\cdot h)+Bh \\ B=BaseArea=6\cdot6=36ft^2 \\ V(total)=(12\cdot6\cdot4)+(36\cdot4) \\ V(total)=288+144 \\ V(total)=432ft^3 \end{gathered}
