Since it's rectangular, you simply need to multiply the length, width, and height.

This will give you the volume.

I guess you know what a centimeter looks like, and what 10 centimeters look like.

Personally, I would probably use my hand, and check how many times the distance between my thumb and index fits on the box, since it's about 15 centimeters. Either that, or the width of my thumb, which is about 2 centimeters.

But with the thumb you're going to be spending a while, so you might as well take the 1 minute and go look through your stuff to find your measuring tape.

I think that approximations are very easy to do though, so you don't even need that. Just say that the box has about 50 centimeters in height, 30 centimeters in length, and 10 centimeters in width.

So that gives you 15000 centimeters cube, which sounds very close to the actual volume.
