Answer: 192 square inches

Step-by-step explanation: it says that he can fill the bottom of the box with 48 once inch cubes, and since the cubes are an inch tall, the cubes would cover an inch of the box's height. The box's total height is 4, so you would need to multiply 4 by 48 to get the total number of cubes that can fit in the box, aka the volume of the box.
