Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

160\ ft^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the sandbox is equal to

V=Bh

where

B is the area of the base of the sandbox

h is the height of the sandbox

we have

B=80\ ft^{2}

h=2\ ft

substitute

V=80*2=160\ ft^{3}

Answer: The amount of sand is equivalent to the volume of the sandbox. Volume is L x W x H = v. The volume = 160 feet cubed, or to the 3rd power.
