Answer 1

B. 168 in. Cubed

Explanation:

Given that

The box measures 8 in. Wide, 9 in. Long, and 4 in. Tall on the outside.

And, the wood be used to make the box is 1 ÷2 in

We need to find out the inside volume of the box

As we know that

Volume = (length)(width)(height)

= (8 - 0.5 × 2) (9 - 0.5 × 2 ) (4 - 0.5 × 2)

= 7 × 8 × 3

= 168 cubic inches

hence, the second option is correct
