if a match box has inside dimensions of 2 in. by 1 ¼ in. by 5/8 in., find the useful capacity of the box. the cover is made with open ends so that the box can slide into it, the fit being snug. if the match box and cover are made of thin slices of wood 1/22 in. thick, find the amount of wood used in one million boxes.
the answer might be:
1.5625 cu. in.
254.31 cu.ft
but i'm not sure. anyway, i need the computations. thank you so much!

Remember to use the old "sniff test". Does 254 cubic feet sound remotely feasible? Thats about the size of the interior of a car.
Using the formula for the volume of a rectangle, Length X Width X Height
(2)(1.25)(.625) = 1.5625
