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:



Or, you can find the area of the bottom of each of the pans:





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.
