Question

A rectangular container 6.5 ft long, 3.2 ft wide and 2 ft high is filled with sand to a depth of 1.3 ft. How much sand is in the container?

Answer 1

Therefore, there are 27.04 cubic feet of sand in the container.

Explanation:

We can start by calculating the volume of the rectangular container:

Volume = length x width x height

Volume = 6.5 ft x 3.2 ft x 2 ft

Volume = 41.6 cubic feet

Since the sand fills the container to a depth of 1.3 feet, we can calculate the volume of the sand as follows:

Volume of sand = length x width x depth of sand

Volume of sand = 6.5 ft x 3.2 ft x 1.3 ft

Volume of sand = 27.04 cubic feet

Therefore, there are 27.04 cubic feet of sand in the container.
