2022 AMC 8 Problem 24

The figure below shows a polygon ABCDEFGH, consisting of rectangles and right triangles. When cut out and folded on the dotted lines, the polygon forms a triangular prism. Suppose that AH = EF = 8 and GH = 14. 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]
