The volume of the composite figure can be calculated by finding the volume of each individual shape and then adding them together.
Volume of each cube = (side length)^3 = 2^3 = 8 cubic yards
Volume of the cuboid = length x width x height = 4.5 x 2 x 2 = 18 cubic yards
Total volume = 8 + 8 + 18 = 34 cubic yards
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 34 cubic yards.
