Question

A big dump truck delivers gravel to a construction site. The dump truck has a rectangular bed that is 3 meters wide and 4 meters long. The truck bed is filled with gravel to a height of 2 meters. What is the volume of gravel in the truck bed?
The volume of the truck bed can be found using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

V = l × w × h

where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

Substituting the given values, we get:

V = 4 m × 3 m × 2 m
V = 24 cubic meters

Therefore, the dump truck contains 24 cubic meters of gravel.
