Fundamental Concept
To calculate for the volume of a rectangular box, the formula is length x width x height.
Application
The total room available inside the cabinet is the cabinet's volume calculated as: 4 x 6 x 9 = 216 feet^3
The room occupied by the box is the volume of the box calculated as 3 x 4 x 3 = 36 feet^3
Room available = volume of cabinet - volume of box
Room available = 216 - 26 = 180 feet^3
