To find the volume of the dollhouse, we need to find the volume of each part and then add them together.

The dollhouse consists of a rectangular prism and a triangular prism.

First, let's find the volume of the rectangular prism:
Length = 16 cm
Width = 10 cm
Height = 9 cm

Volume of rectangular prism = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 16 cm x 10 cm x 9 cm
Volume = 1440 cm^3

Next, let's find the volume of the triangular prism:
Base = 10 cm
Height = 9 cm
Length = 11 cm
Volume of triangular prism = (1/2) x Base x Height x Length
Volume = 0.5 x 10 cm x 9 cm x 11 cm
Volume = 495 cm^3

Now, add the volumes of the rectangular prism and the triangular prism:
Volume of dollhouse = 1440 cm^3 + 495 cm^3
Volume = 1935 cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the dollhouse is 1935 cubic cm. Rounded to the nearest tenth, the volume is 1935.0 cubic cm.
