Anthony built a composite figure using a 10-cubic-centimeter figure for the bottom box and an 8-cubic-centimeter figure for the top box. He said that the volume of the composite figure would be found by doing 10 cm x 8 cm, or 80 cubic centimeters. Which statements best correctly identifies Anthony's mistake?
