To find the volume of the freezer, we need to multiply its length, width, and height. Converting the dimensions to feet, we get 3.5 ft x 3 ft x 2.5 ft = 26.25 ft^3. This is significantly less than the advertised volume of 29.3 cubic feet, so the advertised volume is incorrect.

The Exterior Dimensions of a Freezer Are 42 Inches by 36
