The volume of the rectangular prism can be calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height. So, 11 inches * 3 inches * 4 inches = 132 cubic inches.

The volume of the cube on top is calculated by simply cubing the length of one side. So, 3 inches * 3 inches * 3 inches = 27 cubic inches.

Therefore, the total volume of the composite figure is 132 cubic inches (rectangular prism) + 27 cubic inches (cube) = 159 cubic inches.
