Answer:

Explanation:
Given:
The concrete block is a rectangular prism with two cubes cut out. The cubes have a side length of 6 inches.
To find: total volume, cubic feet, of concrete needed to make this block
Solution:
Side of cube = 6 inches
Volume of cube =

So, volume of two cubes = 2(216) = 432 cubic inches
Length of rectangular prism = 12 inches
Breadth of rectangular prism = 8 inches
Height of rectangular prism = 8 inches
Volume of rectangular prism = length × breadth × height =

Total volume of concrete needed to make this block = Volume of rectangular prism - Volume of two cubes = 768 - 432 = 336 cubic inches =

( use 1 cubic inch =
)
