Final answer:

The total volume of both boxes is 214 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total volume of both boxes, we need to find the volumes of each box and add them together.

For the bottom box, volume = length x width x height = 6in x 5in x 5in = 150in³.

For the top box, since it is a cube, the volume is given by the formula V = edge x edge x edge = 4in x 4in x 4in = 64in³.

Therefore, the total volume of both boxes is 150in³ + 64in³ = 214in³.
