You can go either of two ways. The straightforward method is to calculate the volume of the larger pan:
and then calculate the volume of the smaller pan:
And then subtract:

Subtract:
And multiply the result by the depth of the pan, 1.5
I like the second method better, because I was able to do the calculation in my head.
