Question
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a cube placed on the top and center of a larger rectangular prism. The length and width of the prism is 6 inches respectively and 2 inches high. The sides of the cube are 2 inches.
What is the volume of the composite figure?

in.3
To find the volume of the composite figure, we need to find the volume of the rectangular prism and the cube separately, and then add them together.
The volume of the rectangular prism is length x width x height = 6 x 2 x 2 = 24 in^3.
The volume of the cube is side^3 = 2^3 = 8 in^3.
Adding the two volumes together, we get: 24 + 8 = 32 in^3.
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 32 in^3.
