To find the volume of the composite space figure, first calculate the volume of each individual rectangular figure:

Volume of the first rectangle = base * height = 8 cm * 3 cm = 24 cm^2

Volume of the second rectangle = height * width * depth = 6 cm * 5 cm * 2 cm = 60 cm^3

Now, add the volumes of the two rectangles together to find the total volume:

24 cm^3 + 60 cm^3 = 84 cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the composite space figure is 84 cm^3.

The closest answer provided is 80 cm^3.
