Answer: 64x^6y^15

Explanation:

If the packaging box is in the shape of a cube, then all its sides are equal in length. Let's call the length of each side "s".

We know that the length of the packaging box is 4x^2 y^5, so:

s = 4x^2 y^5

To find the volume of the packaging box, we need to calculate s^3 (since the box is a cube).

s^3 = (4x^2 y^5)^3

s^3 = 4^3 (x^2)^3 (y^5)^3

s^3 = 64x^6 y^15

Therefore, the volume of the packaging box in terms of x and y is 64x^6 y^15.
