How can a student find how much sand a sandbox can hold if it is 50 inches wide, 67 inches long, and can be filled up to 9 inches deep?

A.
use [2(50) × 2(67) × 2(9)] in3
B.
use (50 × 67 × 9) in3
C.
use (50 + 67 + 9) in3
D.
use [2(50) + 2(67) + 2(9)] in3

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

You would use the formula Length×Width×Height

In this question the length would be 67 in

The height would be 9 in

And the width would be 50 in

The unit of measure is inches

Cubed because this is a 3-dimesional shape

So the answer would be (50×67×9) in³
