Answer:

4,152,842.53301 cm³ ≈ 4.1528 m³

Explanation:

The volume of a rectilinear room of those dimensions will be the product of those dimensions:

(144.78 cm)(198.12 cm)(144.78 cm) = 4,152,842.53301 cm³

A more appropriate unit for such a volume is cubic meters. There are a million cubic centimeters in a cubic meter, so the volume (to 5 significant digits) is ...

4.1528 m³

_____

We assume that any oxygen is uniformly distributed in the space, so the volume of oxygen will be the same as the volume of the room.

_____

Additional comment

These dimensions correspond to those of a room that is 57 inches square and 78 inches high.
