Answer:

(294π +448) cm³ ≈ 1371.6 cm³

Explanation:

The half-cylinder at the right end has a radius of 7 cm, as does the one on top. Together, the total length of these half-cylinders is 8 cm + 4cm = 12 cm. That is equivalent in volume to a whole cylinder of radius 7 cm that is 6 cm long.

The cylinder volume is ...

V = πr²h = π(7 cm)²(6 cm) = 294π cm³

__

The cuboid underlying the top half-cylinder has dimensions 4 cm by 8 cm by 14 cm (twice the radius). So, its volume is ...

V = LWH = (4 cm)(8 cm)(14 cm) = 448 cm³

Then the total volume of the composite figure is ...

(294π +448) cm³ ≈ 1371.6 cm³
