The dimensions of a box are measured to be 18.4 inches by 17.92 inches by 26 inches. The volume of the box can be found by multiplying these three dimensions. What is the volume of the box expressed to the correct number of significant figures?

The volume of the box is 8.6 × 10³ in².

V = lwh = 26 in × 18.4 in × 17.92 in = 8.6 × 10³ in²

Note: The answer can have only two significant figures because that is all you gave for the length of the box.
