First you want to find the area of the driveway. The easiest way to do this is to separate the rectangles. The area of the small rectangle will be 6 because 2x3=6, the area of the large rectangle will be 216 because 18x12=216. Then you will add the two areas back together, 216+6=222. Using the formula volume=baseXheight you will do 222x15 to get 3,330 cubic meters (because height and depth work the same)
