Question

Find the volume of the figure

Answer 1

Just find the base area then multiply it by the height.
so here for the base area we can divide it in 2 parts 6x6 + 2x1
which the total is 38
then multiply 38 by 1, which is the height, so it's 38

Answer 2

38(inches cubed)
V=Bh
B=area of the base
split into two 
B=1*2=1 H=1 V=2*1 V=2

B=6*6=36 H=1 V=36*1 V=36

36+2=38
