1 answer

To find the amount of sand in the sandbox, we need to find the volume of the rectangular prism.

The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height.

In this case, the sandbox has a length of 8 ft, a width of 10 ft, and a height of 2 ft.

So, the volume of the sandbox is 8 ft × 10 ft × 2 ft = <<8*10*2=160>>160 cubic feet.

Therefore, there is 160 cubic feet of sand in the sandbox.
