Volume for a cubic shape is given by Volume+=Width%2Adepth%2Aheight
You are given a volume in cubic feet -- but dimensions in inches. So first, convert the volume to cubic inches.
Volume%5Bfeet%5D+%2A12%2A12%2A12=+Volume%5Binches%5D
25920+=+Volume%5Binches%5D
25920+=+Width%2Adepth%2Aheight
25920+=+18%2Adepth%2A24
25920%2F%2818%2A24%29+=+depth
60+=+depth
The cabinet must be 5 feet deep
