we know that
the volume of a rectangular prism is equal to
\(V=L*W*H\)
where
L is the length of the box
W is the width of the box
H is is the height of the box
in this problem we have
\(L=17\ in\)
\(W=1.3\ ft\)
\(H=8\ in\)
Convert \(1.3\) feet to inches
we know that
\(1\) feet is equal to \(12\) inches
so
\(1.3*12=15.6\ inches\)
\(W=15.6 in\)
Find the volume
\(V=17*15.6*8\)
\(V=2,121.6\ in^{3}\)
therefore
the answer is
\(2,121.6\ in^{3}\)
