Problem
The figure below shows a polygon 
, consisting of rectangles and right triangles. When cut out and folded on the dotted lines, the polygon forms a triangular prism. Suppose that 
and 
. What is the volume of the prism?
![[asy] usepackage("mathptmx"); size(275); defaultpen(linewidth(0.8)); real r = 2, s = 2.5, theta = 14; pair G = (0,0), F = (r,0), C = (r,s), B = (0,s), M = (C+F)/2, I = M + s/2 * dir(-theta); pair N = (B+G)/2, J = N + s/2 * dir(180+theta); pair E = F + r * dir(- 45 - theta/2), D = I+E-F; pair H = J + r * dir(135 + theta/2), A = B+H-J; draw(A--B--C--I--D--E--F--G--J--H--cycle^^rightanglemark(F,I,C)^^rightanglemark(G,J,B)); draw(J--B--G^^C--F--I,linetype ("4 4")); dot("$A$",A,N); dot("$B$",B,1.2*N); dot("$C$",C,N); dot("$D$",D,dir(0)); dot("$E$",E,S); dot("$F$",F,1.5*dir(-100)); dot("$G$",G,S); dot("$H$",H,W); dot("$I$",I,NE); dot("$J$",J,1.5*S); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/c/0/8c0183579e57a39614f2c3be1824f286b6bf4b86.png)
Solution
While imagining the folding, 
goes on 
goes on 
and 
goes on 
So, 
and 
Also, 
becomes an edge parallel to 
so that means 
Since 
then 
So, the area of 
is 
If we let be the base, then the height is 
So, the volume is

Remark
After folding polygon on the dotted lines, we obtain the following triangular prism:
![[asy] /* Made by MRENTHUSIASM */ usepackage("mathptmx"); size(200); defaultpen(linewidth(0.8)); import graph3; import solids; currentprojection=orthographic((0.3,-0.3,0.3)); triple J, G, B, A, H, F; J = (0,0,0); G = (6,0,0); B = (0,8,0); A = (0,8,8); H = (0,0,8); F = (6,0,8); draw(surface(B--J--G--cycle),yellow); draw(surface(H--A--F--cycle),yellow); draw(B--J,dashed); draw(G--J--H--A--B^^A--F--H^^F--G^^B--G); draw((0.5,0,0)--(0.5,0.5,0)--(0,0.5,0)^^(0.5,0,8)--(0.5,0.5,8)--(0,0.5,8)); dot("$A=C$",A,1.5*E); dot("$B$",B,1.5*E); dot("$D=J$",J,1.5*W); dot("$F$",F,1.5*E); dot("$H=I$",H,1.5*W); dot("$E=G$",G,1.5*E); label("$8$",midpoint(A--H),1.5*NW,red); label("$6$",midpoint(H--F),1.5*S,red); label("$8$",midpoint(H--J),1.5*W,red); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/3/1/2/312686e55a4760716ba0dafc8635f2217e326d69.png)
