The shape consist of a cone and a cylinder

As such the volume of the shape is the sum of the volume of the two shapes.

The volume of a cone is given as

V = 1/3 Pi R^2H

and that of a cylinder is

V = Pi R^2H

where Pi is a constant 22/7, R is the radius and H is the height

Hence the volume of the figure

=1/3 * 22/7 * 6^2 * 10 + 22/7 * 6^2 * 12

= 22/7 (120 + 432)

= 22/7 * 552

= 1734.86 m^2
