Answer:

350 meters cubed.

Explanation:

If you visualize it, there are two rectangular prisms: one flat one on the top, and one large one on the bottom.

The width of the top one is 5 meters. The length is 7 meters. The height is 8 - 5 = 3 meters. So, one prism has a volume of 5m x 7m x 3m.

The width of the bottom one is 7 meters. The length is 7 meters. The height is 5 meters. So, the bottom prism has a volume of 7m x 7m x 5m.

(5 * 7 * 3) + (7 * 7 * 5)

= (35 * 3) + (49 * 5)

= 105 + 245

= 350

So, the volume of the figure is 350 meters cubed.

Hope this helps!
