The volume of the rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula for volume, which is length x width x height. In this case, the volume of the rectangular prism is 6 inches x 6 inches x 2 inches = 72 cubic inches.
The volume of the cube can be calculated using the same formula, which is side x side x side. In this case, the volume of the cube is 2 inches x 2 inches x 2 inches = 8 cubic inches.
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure (cube and rectangular prism combined) is 72 cubic inches + 8 cubic inches = 80 cubic inches.
