Answer: 50

Explanation:

Your first need to find the volume of each box separated. The bottom box has a length of 8ft., a width of 2ft., and a height of 2ft. Multiply all the dimensions to get a volume of 32ft. Now onto the top box. The length is 3 the width is also 2 and the height is 6 - 2 which is 3. Multiply all to get a volume of 18ft. Now add the two volumes. 18 + 32 = 50.

Answer: 44ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:alright so ur gonna wanna split the boxes here, I recommend splitting it where there's a line between the small and big box. Now we got 2 boxes we already have all necessary measurements to find the volume of the large box so we do that one first

large box; 8×2×2= 32

now the small box if we look at the side of the big box we see its length is 2 so we just have to subtract 6-2 to find length of small box now we can solve.

small box; 3×2×2 = 12

now add 12+32= 44
