Answer 1

1. Capacity of the box in Litres: 7.917L≈8L

2. Volume of wood used in making the box: 1197cm^3

3. The mass of the box: 1496.25g/cm^3

Explanation:

1. 29×21×13=7917cm^3

7917cm^3 → 7.917dm^3→7.917L≈8L

2. Outside Volume: 29×21×13=7917cm^3

Inside Volume: 28×20×13=6720cm^3

7917-6720=1197cm^3

3. 1197×1.25=1496.25g/cm^3
