With what?
TETSXPREME:
AZ:
So
Volume = Area of base * height
AZ:
Let's first calculate the area of the base
The base is a triangle and a rectangle
area of base = area of rectangle + area of triangle
TETSXPREME:
how i do that?

So some colors for you to better see it
AZ:
Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height
the base of the triangle is 5
the height of the triangle is 2
what is the area of the triangle?
TETSXPREME:
10?
AZ:
remember, it's a triangle so you have to half that
1/2 * 5 * 2
TETSXPREME:
5?

there we go
now what is the area of the rectangle?
it has a length of 5 and width of 3
TETSXPREME:
so 5x3? or 5x5?
TETSXPREME:
5x5x5?*
AZ:
area of rectangle = length times width
area of rectangle = 5 * 3
TETSXPREME:
15

so now the area of the base of the figure is equal to triangle area + rectangle area
= 5 + 15
= ??
TETSXPREME:
20
AZ:
so now we can find the volume, the height of the entire thing is 8
volume = Area of base * height
volume = 20 * 8
volume =
TETSXPREME:
160
AZ:
ta-da!
