Answer 1

82,944 inches cubed

Explanation:

2 yards = 72 inches

2 feet = 24 inches

72 × 24 × 48 inches = 82,944 inches cubed

Answer 2

82,944 cubic inches

Explanation:

First convert all units to inches

1 yard = 36 inches

1 foot = 12 inches

Therefore, 2 yards = 2*36 = 72 inches

2 feet = 2* 12 = 24 inches

Volume = Length * height * depth

Volume = 72* 24* 48

Volume = 82,944 cubic inches
