One inch = 2.54 cm.
One cubic inch = 2.54³ cubic centimeters = 2.54³ milliliters.
2.54³ ml = 16.387064 ml = 0.016387064 liters.
(21 in.)(21 in.)(36 in.) = 15876 cubic inches.
15876 × 0.016387064 = approx. 260.161 liters.

on condition that you probably did not specify the "structure" of the boxes, and assuming that they are both "immediately, upright" solids (i.e. all aspects are completely vertical, in the different case there is not any answer by using inadequate advice): the challenge should be restated extra obviously as, "what's the fashion of an upright solid whose correct is 4 inches and circumference is 6 inches, which consists of the optimal volume?" the answer is a cylinder whose circumference is 6 inches, and therefore whose volume is 36/pi cubic inches. So the answer on your unique question is: Whichever of your 2 boxes is closest to a cylindrical structure will carry extra water.

First, convert the inches to centimeters. There are approx. 2.54 centimeters per inch. In this case, just take what you have and multiply by 2.54^3
This will give you the volume in cubic centimeters which are the same thing as milliliters. So, divide this number by 1000 to get liters.
So, your answer is: 21x21x36x2.54x2.54x2.54/1000

260 liters
Note to more precise answers: The question is posed with no decimal places, the answer is reported with none. BTW, what temperature and pressure are you reporting the volume at?

21 x 21 x 36 (inches) = 533.4 x 533.4 x 914.4 (millimeters)
note, 1 inch = 25.4mm
Therefore you get 260.161ltrs
Note, 1 Ltr = 1,000,000 mm3

I refuse to answer questions which are defined in other than the metric system :-)
