Well, the question is A glass box shaped like a rectangular prism has width 7 inches, length 9 inches, and height 12 inches. It is being shipped in a larger box with width 10 inches, length 10 inches, and height 15 inches. The space between the glass box and the shipping box will be filled with Styrofoam peanuts. How many cubic inches of space will contain Styrofoam peanuts?
