The volume of the two cubes can be calculated by finding the volume of one cube and then multiplying it by 2. The volume of a cube is side^3, so in this case it would be 5^3 = 125 cm^3. Since there are two cubes, the total volume for the cubes is 125 cm^3 * 2 = 250 cm^3.
Next, we need to find the volume of the cuboid. The volume of a cuboid is length * width * height, so in this case it would be 10 cm * 5 cm * 12 cm = 600 cm^3.
Now, to find the total volume of the composite figure, we add the volumes of the cubes and the cuboid: 250 cm^3 + 600 cm^3 = 850 cm^3.
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 850 cm^3.
