Volume of the rectangular prism:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 11in x 3in x 4in
Volume = 132 in³
Volume of the cube:
Volume = side length³
Volume = 3in x 3in x 3in
Volume = 27 in³
Total volume of the composite figure:
Volume = volume of rectangular prism + volume of cube
Volume = 132in³ + 27in³
Volume = 159 in³
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 159 in³.
