$color(blue)((833pi+7680)/3" cubic units.")$

This is a square prism. The radius of the cap is 8, so the width of the square is 16.

Volume of prism:

Area of base x height.

$16^2xx10=2560$

Volume of a spherical cap is given by:

$V=(pih^2)/3(3r-h)$

$V=(pi7^2)/3(3(8)-7)$

$V=(pi49)/3(17)=(833pi)/3$

Total volume:

$(833pi)/3+2560=(833pi+7680)/3$ cubic units.
