To calculate the volume of the figure, we need to find the volume of the rectangular prism and the volume of the pyramid separately, and then add them together.

Volume of the rectangular prism:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 3 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm
Volume = 27 cm³

Volume of the pyramid:
Volume = 1/3 x base area x height
The base of the pyramid is a square with side length 3 cm.
Base area = 3 cm x 3 cm = 9 cm²
Volume = 1/3 x 9 cm² x 2 cm
Volume = 6 cm³

Total volume of the figure:
27 cm³ (prism) + 6 cm³ (pyramid) = 33 cm³

Therefore, the volume of the figure is 33 cm³.
