Answer:

4050 cubic feet.

Explanation:

Let's first find the volume of the green cube. It is the edge length cubed, or 15^3 which equals 3375.

Now, let's find the volume of the brown pyramid on the cube. To find the volume, multiply the base of the pyramid by the height, then divide by 3.

Using the edge length of 15, we can find that the square is 15^2 which equals 225.

Multiply 225 by the height 9,

225*9=2025

Then divide by 3.

2025/3=675.

Knowing the volume of the green cube, 3375, and the volume of the brown pyramid, 675, we can find that the volume of the entire figure is

3375 +675=4050 cubic feet.
