Final answer:

To find the volume of a rectangular solid, the formula length x width x height is used. The measurements provided are not sufficient to calculate the volume without more information about the shape or how the dimensions are related.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular solid can be found using the formula: volume of stack = length x width x height. However, the dimensions given do not seem to correlate to a single rectangular solid, as there are six measurements provided. Usually, only three dimensions (length, width, height) are required to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism. It's possible that the measurements provided could represent more than one block or a complex shape consisting of multiple rectangular prisms. Without additional information or a clear description of how these measurements correspond to the solid Charlie carved, we cannot definitively calculate the volume.

Example of a typical calculation using three measurements: If the solid had dimensions of length = 7 in, width = 3 in, and height = 6 in, the volume would be calculated as follows:

Volume = 7 in. x 3 in. x 6 in. = 126 in³
