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)

The volume of the rectangular prism can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height:

Volume = 11 inches * 3 inches * 4 inches
Volume = 132 cubic inches

The volume of the cube can be calculated by multiplying its side length by itself three times:

Volume = 3 inches * 3 inches * 3 inches
Volume = 27 cubic inches

The total volume of the composite figure is the sum of the volumes of the rectangular prism and the cube:

Total Volume = 132 cubic inches + 27 cubic inches
Total Volume = 159 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 159 cubic inches.
