Since I can't view or access images directly, I can’t see the specific shapes in your uploaded image. However, based on the title "Volume of Shapes" and the layout described (a worksheet with 3D block figures), it appears to be a math exercise where you're asked to calculate the volume of various 3D shapes made up of unit cubes.

How to Solve This Type of Problem:



The volume of a 3D shape composed of unit cubes is simply the number of unit cubes that make up the shape.

#### Step-by-step Method:
1. Count the number of unit cubes in each shape.
2. If the shape is rectangular (a rectangular prism), use the formula:
$$
\text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}
$$
- Measure the length, width, and height in terms of unit cubes.
3. For irregular shapes, count the cubes layer by layer or use addition of smaller parts.

Let’s assume some typical examples from such worksheets (since I can’t see your image):

Example Problems & Solutions:



#### 1. A rectangular prism that is 4 units long, 3 units wide, and 2 units high:
$$
\text{Volume} = 4 \times 3 \times 2 = 24 \text{ cubic units}
$$

#### 2. A cube that is 3 units on each side:
$$
\text{Volume} = 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27 \text{ cubic units}
$$

#### 3. An L-shaped figure:
Break it into two rectangles:
- One part: 3×2×1 = 6
- Another part: 2×1×1 = 2
Total: 6 + 2 = 8 cubic units

General Tips:


- Look for patterns or layers.
- Count visible cubes and infer hidden ones (e.g., if there's a full back layer).
- Use multiplication when possible to avoid counting every single cube.

---

If you can describe the shapes (e.g., “Shape 1 has 3 rows, 4 columns, and 2 layers”), I can help you calculate each one step by step.

Alternatively, if you can type out the dimensions or describe each shape, I’ll solve them for you!
