To find out how much space the delivery truck needs to transport 75 boxes, we first need to calculate the volume of one box.

The formula for the volume \( V \) of a cube is:

\[ V = s^3 \]

where \( s \) is the side length of the cube.

In this case, the side length of each box is 18 inches.

Calculating the volume of one box:

\[ V = 18^3 = 18 \times 18 \times 18 \]

Calculating step by step:

  1. \( 18 \times 18 = 324 \)
  2. \( 324 \times 18 = 5,832 \)

So, the volume of one box is \( 5,832 \) cubic inches.

Now, to find the total volume for 75 boxes:

\[ \text{Total Volume} = 75 \times 5,832 \]

Calculating this:

\[ 75 \times 5,832 = 437,400 \]

Thus, the total volume required to transport the boxes is \( 437,400 \) cubic inches.

The correct response is:

437,400 in. cubed.
