The volume of the composite figure can be calculated by first finding the volume of each individual figure and then adding them together.
Volume of one cube = (side length)^3 = (2 yards)^3 = 8 cubic yards
Volume of the cuboid = length x width x height = 4.5 yards x 2 yards x 2 yards = 18 cubic yards
Now, add the volumes of the cube and the cuboid:
Total volume = 8 cubic yards (for the cube) + 18 cubic yards (for the cuboid) = 26 cubic yards
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 26 cubic yards.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows two cubes joined on both sides of a cuboid. The sides of the cube are 2 yards. The length of the cuboid is 4.5 yards.
