Answer: Volume of solid = 700 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The solid figure can be sectioned into 2 parts; a rectangular prism and a triangular prism.

Considering the rectangular prism, the formula for calculating the volume is

Volume = length x width x height

From the diagram,

length 10

height = 10

width = 5

Volume of rectangular prism = 10 x 10 x 5 = 500

Considering the triangular prism, the formula for calculating the volume is

Volume = base area x length

The base is a triangle

Area of triangle = 1/2 base x height

From the diagram,

base = 10

height = 8

Base area = 1/2 x 10 x 8 = 40

Length = 5

Volume of triangular prism = 40 x 5 = 200

Thus,

Volume of solid = 500 + 200

Volume of solid = 700 ft^3
