Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 40 x 12 x 24
Volume = 11,520 cubic inches
Since there is a gap in the middle, we need to subtract the volume of the two legs.
Volume of each leg = 10 x 12 x 18
Volume of each leg = 2,160 cubic inches
Volume of both legs = 2,160 x 2 = 4,320 cubic inches
Volume of the desk = Total volume - Volume of both legs
Volume of the desk = 11,520 - 4,320
Volume of the desk = 7,200 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the desk is 7,200 cubic inches.
