Answer 1

Answer:

Hugh's baseball bat has a length of 33 inches. He wants to know if it will fit completely inside the box.

→ The ball would not fit in the box, as the volume of the ball is larger than the box.

Moreover, the dimensions hold a relation of :---

33inches>{24inches, 18inches, 16inches}.
