Answer:
The 16 cases will fit the box as shown.
Step-by-step explanation:
One disk case has the dimensions 14.2 cm by 19.3 cm, with thickness 1.6 cm.
Temporarily ignoring the 14.2 cm and 19.3 cm measurements, we multiply this 1.6 cm thickness by 16, obtaining a total thickness for the stack of cases of 25.6 cm.
1) The 16 cases, arranged as shown, and measuring 25.6 cm from left to right in this diagram, will fit within the 26 cm horizontal distance shown.
2) The horizontal length of each case is 14.2 cm. Stacked as shown, the 16 cases will fit within the 15 cm depth of the box.
3) The vertical measurement of each case is 19.3 cm. The 20 cm vertical measurement of the box can accommodate this 19.3 height within 20 cm.
All indications are that the 16 cases will fit comfortably inside the box.
