288 x 14 = 4032.

The answer is 4032

Answer 2

V= 4032 in³

Explanation:

Well, what we have here is a rectangular prism. A prism that has in its base a rectangle. Moreover, the capacity a rectangular prism holds, is given by this following formula:

V= Base Area * height

The Area of a Rectangle is width times the height. In addition, we multiply this by the height of the prism. Plugging it in:

`V=w.l.h\\ \\V=12*24*14\\ V=4032` in³

So V= 4032 in³

If we divide 4032 it by 0.0163871 we convert into liters, so 4032 in³=66.07 liters

If we divide 4032 by 0.004329 we convert into gallons, so 4032 in³=17.45 gallons
