First we neeed to find the volume of the rectangular prism




Volume of cube with side lengths 1/6 = 1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/216
The number of cubes needed to fill the prism without gaps or overlaps =



The answer is 12 because you have to subtract
32-20
The volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)
<h3>How to determine the volume?</h3>
The complete question is added as an attachment
From the attached image, we have:
Length = 12 - 2x
Width = 7 - 2x
Height = x
The volume is calculated as:
Volume = Length * Width * Height
Substitute the known values in the above equation
Volume = (12 - 2x) * (7 - 2x) * x
This gives
Volume = x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)
Hence, the volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)
