Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Determine individual cuboid dimensions and calculate its volume
  • Step 2: Calculate the cumulative volume resulting from the merger of two identical cuboids

Let's work through these steps:
Step 1: The given dimensions for a square-based cuboid suggest each has a base of 4 meters and a height of 8 meters. Therefore, the volume of one cuboid is determined using the formula: V=4×4×8 V = 4 \times 4 \times 8 .

Calculating this gives: V=128 cubic meters V = 128 \text{ cubic meters} .
Step 2: Since two such cuboids are combined to form the bodand, the total volume is: 2×128=256 cubic meters 2 \times 128 = 256 \text{ cubic meters} .

Therefore, the volume of the created bodand is 256 cubic meters 256 \text{ cubic meters} .
