Answer: 3,017.5 cubic centimeters.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate the volume of each cd case:

Volume of a rectangular prism= length x width x height

Replacing with the values given:

V = 14.2 x 12.5 x 1 = 177.5 cubic centimeters.

Since there are 17 cases in the stack, we have to multiply the volume one case by 17.

177.5 x 17 = 3,017.5 cubic centimeters.
