We first calculate for the volume of each of the figure by dividing all together the dimensions of the rectangular prism.

Volume = (10 ft) (3 ft) (3 ft) = 90 ft³

Then, multiply the volume of each prism by 10 to get the total amount of cement that needs to be poured.

Total volume = (90 ft³) (10) = 900 ft³
