#144" units"^3#

Split the shape up. This works well for volume. You have to be a bit more careful with surface areas.

Volume of A is: #9xx3xx4= 108#

Volume of B is: #3xx3xx4=36#

Total volume is:

#108#
#ul(color(white)(1)36) larr" Add"#
#144#

It is good practice to show the units of measurement.

Suppose you were measuring in inches

Length #->" inches"#
Area #->" inches"^2#
Volume #->" inches"^3#

We do not know what units of measurement is used for this question so we say #"units"^3# giving:

#144" units"^3#
