    Volume of room will be left after Michael stores the boxes 426 feet cube

    Step-by-step explanation:

    It is given that

    Michael is putting 12 boxes in a storage shed.

    Each box is in the shape of a rectangular prism with dimensions 1.5 feet by 1.5 feet by 2 feet.

    If the storage shed has dimensions 6 feet by 10 feet by 8 feet,

    To find the volume of one box

    Volume = 1.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 4.5 feet cube

    Volume of 12 such box = 4.5 x 12 = 54 feet cube

    To find the volume of shed

    Volume of Shed = 6 x 10 x 8 = 480

    To find remaining portion of shed

    Volume of room will be left after Michael stores the boxes = volume of shed - volume of box

    =480 - 54 = 426 feet cube
