Answer:

Volume of the figure = 704 units³

Explanation:

The figure is composed of a triangular prism and a square prism.

Volume of the figure = volume of triangular prism + volume of square prism

Volume of the figure = ½*a*b*a + a³

Given, that, a = 8 units; b = 6 units, plug in the values into the equation.

Volume of the figure = ½*8*6*8 + 8³

Volume of figure = 4*6*8 + 512

Volume of the figure = 192 + 512

Volume of the figure = 704 units³
