The given figure is a rectangular prism.

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by


V=l\cdot w\cdot h

Where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the rectangular prism.

The volume of the figure shown is 576 cubic in for the following dimensions.

Length = 8 in

Width = 6 in

Height = 12 in


V=8\cdot6\cdot12=576\: in^3

If the height is changed to 6 in, then the volume is


V=8\cdot6\cdot6=288\: in^3

Therefore, the volume of the figure will be reduced to 288 cubic inches if the height is changed to 6 inches.
