To determine this, we need to calculate the volume of the refrigerator. The volume of the refrigerator is calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height:
76 cm x 76 cm x 170 cm = 975,520 cm3
This means the refrigerator has a volume of 975,520 cm3, which is 520 cm3 larger than the available space. Therefore, the refrigerator will not fit in the space as it is too big by 520 cm3.
