Explanation:

Step1: Identify the box type

The box is a cube since it has 20 inches on each side. The formula for the volume of a cube is \( V = s^3 \), where \( s \) is the length of a side.

Step2: Substitute the side length into the formula

Given \( s = 20 \) inches, we calculate \( V = 20^3 \).
\( 20^3 = 20 \times 20 \times 20 = 8000 \) cubic inches.

Answer:

D) 8,000 cubic inches
