Small square volume:

8 * 2 * 2 = 32

Big square volume:

3 * 6 * 8 = 144

total volume: 144 + 32 = 176

176

176cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, it is easier to find the separate volumes of the two rectangular prisms and then add the volumes together.

First we will find the large rectangular prism's volume.

Volume = length x width x height

Length = 3cm.

Width = 8cm.

Height = 6cm.

3 x 8 x 6 = 144cm^3

Now we'll find the volume of the smaller rectangular prism.

Length = 2cm.

Width = 8cm.

Height = 2cm.

2 x 8 x 2 = 32cm^3

Now add the two volumes together

144 + 32 = 176
