Answer 1

3008

Explanation:

Answer 2

We have to calculate how many cubic yards of dirt must be removed. First we have to convert feet to yards:
1 yard = 3 ft
L = 94 ft : 3 = 31.33 yd
W = 36 ft : 3 = 12 yd
H = 24 ft : 3 = 8 yd
Volume:
V = L x W x H = 31.33 * 12 * 8 = 3,008 yd³
Answer : 3,008 yd³.
