The sandbox at the playground is 2 ft tall. The area of the base of the sandbox is 80 square feet. How much sand does it take to fill the sandbox?

Respuesta :

(1*80)^2=160 the reason you double it is because the height is 2. So the answer is 160 square feet of sand.

Answer:

[tex]160\ ft^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the sandbox is equal to

[tex]V=Bh[/tex]

where

B is the area of the base of the sandbox

h is the height of the sandbox

we have

[tex]B=80\ ft^{2}[/tex]

[tex]h=2\ ft[/tex]

substitute

[tex]V=80*2=160\ ft^{3}[/tex]
