3017.5 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is V = l * w * h

Here the length is 14.2, the width is 12.5, and the height is 1

Plugging these into our formula we get V = (14.2) (12.5) (1) = 177.5 cm³

Since there are 17 CD cases stacked on top of each other, we will multiply our number by 17 which gives us (177.5) (17) = 3017.5 cm³
