    Each measurement is accurate to 2cm so they can each be "off" by 2. Since we want the smallest possible volume let’s assume each is actually 2 less than what is given.

    The sides would then measure: 22, 22 and 18cm respectively. We obtain the volume by multiplying length, width and height ... the three values given.

    Thus the smallest volume is 22x22x18=8,712 cm^3
