An illustration shows a cube placed on the top and center of a larger rectangular prism. The length and width of the prism is 6 inches respectively and 2 inches high. The sides of the cube are 2 inches.

What is the volume of the composite figure?

(1 point)
in.3

Answer 1

The volume of the composite figure would be 80 in^3.

To calculate this, we first find the volume of the rectangular prism, which is 6 inches (length) x 2 inches (width) x 2 inches (height) = 24 in^3.

Then, we find the volume of the cube, which is (2 inches)^3 = 8 in^3.

Adding the two volumes together, we get 24 in^3 (prism) + 8 in^3 (cube) = 32 in^3.

Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 32 in^3.
