6 ft

4 ft

Your cousin is building a sandbox for his daughter.

How much sand will he need to fill the box? Explain.

How much paint will he need to paint all six surfaces of the sandbox? Explain.

Answer 1

Volume of sand required = 24 ft³ sand required

Amount of paint need = 68 ft²

Explanation:

Given:

Side of a sand box are respectively = 1 ft , 6 ft , 4 ft

Find:

Volume of sand required

Amount of paint need

Computation:

Volume of sand required = L X B X H

Volume of sand required = 1 x 6 x 4

Volume of sand required = 24 ft³ sand required

Amount of paint need = 2[lb + bh + hl]

Amount of paint need = 2 [(1)(6) + (6)(4) + (4)(1)]

Amount of paint need = 2[6 + 24 + 4]

Amount of paint need = 2[34]

Amount of paint need = 68 ft²
