Solution

Outer length of box =62 cm.

Outer width =30 cm.

Outer height =18 cm.

Thickness of wood =2 cm.

$∴$ Internal length $= 62 - 2 \times 2 = 58 c m .$

Internal width $= 30 - 2 \times 2 = 26 c m .$

Internal height $= 18 - 2 \times 2 = 14 c m .$

Capacity of the box =lbh

$= 58 \times 26 \times 14 c m^{3} = 21112 c m^{3}$
