Before you use the answer
Keep a measurement sheet separate from the purchasing allowance. Record which dimensions are internal, which openings were subtracted and which items must be bought as full packs. These are material and schedule estimates; they do not establish structural adequacy or building-code compliance.
Weight restrictions and prohibited materials can limit a container before it is full.

Why might a result be approximate?
Measurement uncertainty, ideal-model assumptions and floating-point rounding can all matter. Displaying more digits does not improve the original measurement.
