Answer 1

The chest is 2 feet deep.

Explanation:

Given:

Aponi built a toy chest for her niece. It has a volume of 12 cubic feet, the chest is 3 feet long and 2 feet wide.

Now, to find the depth of it.

Length = 3 feet.

Width = 2 feet.

Volume = 12 cubic feet.

Now, to find the depth by using formula:

`Volume= length* width* depth\\\\12=3* 2* depth\\\\12=6* depth\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 6\ we\ get:\\\\2=depth\\\\Depth=2\ feet.`

Therefore, the chest is 2 feet deep.
