Respuesta :

First, we need to calculate the volume of the package and the volume of the box

Package

[tex]V_P=6\times7\times2=84in^2[/tex]

Box

[tex]V_B=9\times9\times3=243in^3[/tex]

we need to subtract the volume of the package from the volume of the box

[tex]V=V_B-V_P=243-84=159in^3[/tex]

159 in^3 of packing peanuts will fill into the box
