Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a rectangular prism with a cube placed on top. The cube is 3 inches on all sides. The rectangular prism is 11 inches long and 4 inches high.
What is the volume of the composite figure?
(1 point)
To find the volume of the composite figure, we first find the volume of the rectangular prism:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 11 inches x 3 inches x 4 inches
Volume = 132 cubic inches
Next, we find the volume of the cube placed on top:
Volume = side x side x side
Volume = 3 inches x 3 inches x 3 inches
Volume = 27 cubic inches
Finally, we add the volume of the rectangular prism and the cube together to get the total volume of the composite figure:
Total Volume = 132 cubic inches + 27 cubic inches
Total Volume = 159 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 159 cubic inches.
