What is the internal volume of an enclosure with outside dimensions of 15" (H) x 33" (W) x 11" (D) using 3/4" thick MDF?

To calculate the internal volume of an enclosure, you first need to determine the internal dimensions by accounting for the thickness of the material used, in this case, 3/4" (which is 0.75 inches).

The external dimensions provided are 15" in height, 33" in width, and 11" in depth. To find the internal dimensions, you subtract twice the thickness of the material from each of the external dimensions because the thickness affects both sides of each dimension.

Here's how to calculate the internal dimensions:

• Height: 15" - 2(0.75") = 15" - 1.5" = 13.5"

• Width: 33" - 2(0.75") = 33" - 1.5" = 31.5"

• Depth: 11" - 2(0.75") = 11" - 1.5" = 9.5"

Next, calculate the internal volume using the formula for the volume of a rectangular Prism (Height x Width x Depth):

Internal Volume = 13.5" x 31.5" x 9.5"

Now, perform the calculations:
