Michelle has four large storage chests in her basement. each storage chest has a base of 8 square feet. Three of the storage chests have a height of 2 feet and one storage has a height of 3 feet. What is the total volume, in cubic feet, of the four storage chests?

If the base has an area of 8, and we’re dealing in whole numbers, then the dimensions of three of the chests are 2x2x4. The last one is 2x3x4. Just multiply the dimensions by each other to find the volume of one unit, and then add them all together. Hope that helps!
