The volume of the rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula V = l x w x h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. Plugging in the values, V = 6 x 6 x 2 = 72 in^3.
The volume of the cube can be calculated using the formula V = s^3, where s is the side length. Plugging in the value, V = 2^3 = 8 in^3.
Adding the volumes of the rectangular prism and the cube together: 72 + 8 = 80 in^3.
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 80 in^3.
