Answer 1

Answer: 72 cubic feet

Explanation:

Given : Mr.Addison is building a sandbox shaped like a rectangular prism.

Then , the dimension of sandbox (l w h) is given by :-

8 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 1.5 feet deep.

We know that the volume of rectangular prism is given by :-

`V=l* w* h`

Then , the volume of sandbox is given by :-

`V=8* 6* 1.5=72\text{ cubic feet}`

Hence, the volume of sandbox = 72 cubic feet

Answer 2

multiply the 3 numbers together

8x6x1.5 = 72 cubic feet
