To find the volume of the box, we multiply its length, width, and height together. However, we need to ensure that all measurements are in the same units before performing the calculation. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, we need to convert the width from feet to inches.

Given: Length = 17 inches Width = 1.3 feet = 1.3 * 12 inches = 15.6 inches Height = 8 inches

Now, we can calculate the volume: Volume = Length × Width × Height Volume = 17 inches × 15.6 inches × 8 inches Volume ≈ 2121.6 cubic inches

So, the volume of the box is approximately 2121.6 cubic inches.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
