Answer: 24 in³

Explanation:

You know that the dimensions of the box are:

3 inches.

4 inches.

2 inches.

As each face of the cardboard box is a rectangle, you can conclude that it has the form of a rectangular prism.

Therefore, to calculate the volume of the box, you must multiply the dimensions given in the problem.

Therefore, you obtain that the volume of the box is:

$V=(3\ in)(4\ in)(2\ in)\\V=24\ in^3$
