What is the volume of the figure below?

What is the volume of the figure below?
If you look closely at this figure, you can see that it is made up of two rectangular prisms. In order to solve for the volume, we need to find the volume of each rectangular prism and then add the volumes together to find the total.

In order to find the length of the rectangular prism on the right, we had to take the length of the original figure (which was
) and subtract the length of the rectangular prism on the left (which is
)

Now that we have the dimensions of both our rectangular prisms, we can solve for the volumes.
Remember, the formula for volume is

and 
and 
Next, we add the volumes together to solve for the total volume of the original figure.

*Remember, volume is always measured in cubic units!
If you look closely at this figure, you can see that it is made up of two rectangular prisms. In order to solve for the volume, we need to find the volume of each rectangular prism and then add the volumes together to find the total.
In order to find the length of the rectangular prism on the bottom, we had to take the height of the original figure (which was ) and subtract the height of the rectangular prism on the top (which is
)
Now that we have the dimensions of both our rectangular prisms, we can solve for the volumes.
Remember, the formula for volume is
and
and
Next, we add the volumes together to solve for the total volume of the original figure.
