Given information:A shipping box is $11$ inches long, $8.5$ inches wide and $5.5$ inches high

Formula Used:

Volume of cuboid is product of length, width and height of cuboid

  $Volume=Length\times Width\times Height$

Calculation:

Here, the box is in cuboid shape with below dimensions:

  $\begin{array}{l}Length=11in.\\ Width=8.5in.\\ Height=5.5in.\end{array}$

Volume prism is calculated as follows:

  $Volume=Length\times Width\times Height$

Substituting the values, volume is

  $\begin{array}{l}Volume=11\times 8.5\times 5.5\\ Volume=514.25\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Hence, volume of box is $514.25$ cubic inches.
