To find the volume of the composite figure, we need to calculate the volume of each individual shape and then add them together.
Volume of one cube = side length x side length x side length = 5 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm = 125 cm^3
Volume of two cubes = 125 cm^3 x 2 = 250 cm^3
Volume of the cuboid = length x width x height = 10 cm x 5 cm x 12 cm = 600 cm^3
Adding the volume of the two cubes and the cuboid together:
250 cm^3 + 600 cm^3 = 850 cm^3
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 850 cm^3.
