The volume of each floor is calculated as 

Where l represents the lenght of the floor, w is for the width and h is the height.
You have the area of each floor, and also the height.

The area of the floor is caculated as 

So if you use this equation in the first I gave to you, one can obtain this:

next stepThe volume for each floor is then calculated with the data you gave in the problem.

For example, for the first floor you have Area=25 ft. and Height=15 ft.

The volume of the first floor is then V=A*h=(25 ft.)*(15 ft.)=375 square feet

next stepCalculating for the rest of the floors:

Floor number

 Area (ft.)

Height (ft.)

Volume (sq ft.)

10 8 15 120
Roof 7 15 105

next stepThen you calculate the total volume of the building, summing the volume column of the table.

The total volume of the building is 2430 square feet.
