V = 2176/3 or approximately 725.30 m³

1) Since this figure is made of a pyramid and a cube then let's find the Volume of the Cube, by plugging the measure of its side into the formula:


V=a^3\Rightarrow V=8^3\Rightarrow V=512m^3

2) Let's proceed with the Pyramid's volume, note that we have to calculate the area of the base (in this case a square) times the height times 1/3


\begin{gathered} V=(1)/(3)S\cdot h \\ V=(1)/(3)\cdot8^2\cdot10 \\ V=(640)/(3) \end{gathered}

3) Finally, we can add them up:


\begin{gathered} V=(640)/(3)+512 \\ V=(2176)/(3)or725.33m^3 \end{gathered}

Hence the answer is V = 2176/3 or approximately 725.33 m³
