To find the volume of the composite figure, we need to add the volumes of the three rectangular prisms together.
Volume of side prism: 16 inches x 7 inches x 7 inches = 784 cubic inches
Volume of center prism: 10 inches x 8 inches x 7 inches = 560 cubic inches
Now, add the volumes together:
784 cubic inches (side prism) + 560 cubic inches (center prism) + 784 cubic inches (side prism) = 2128 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 2128 cubic inches.
