Answer:

381 feet cubed

Explanation:

You need to divide the shape into 2.


I would divide the shape so that 8.5ft, 6ft, and 3ft are one.

Now do Length times Width times Height for the first one.

8.5 ft x 6 ft x 3 ft = volume for shape 1

The volume for shape 1 is 153 feet cubed

Now onto the second one.

Since you divide the other shape to have 8.5 feet the measurements are:

4ft, 9.5ft, and 6ft.

Do the formula lwh.

4ft x 9.5ft x 6ft = volume for shape 2

The volume for shape 2 is 228 feet cubed

Finally, you have to add shapes 1 and 2 due to the fact it's a composite figure.

153ft + 228ft = 381ft cubed
