What is the volume of the composite figure?
2cm 2cm 2cm 6cm 6cm
To find the volume of the composite figure, we need to find the volume of the individual components and then sum them up.
The composite figure consists of two cubes, one with side length 2cm and the other with side length 6cm.
Volume of the cube with side length 2cm:
Volume = side length^3 = 2^3 = 8 cm^3
Volume of the cube with side length 6cm:
Volume = side length^3 = 6^3 = 216 cm^3
Total volume of the composite figure:
Volume = Volume of cube with side length 2cm + Volume of cube with side length 6cm
= 8 cm^3 + 216 cm^3
= 224 cm^3
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 224 cm^3.
