GPT 3.5
To find the volume of each sandbox, we use the formula:
Volume = length x width x height
For Box A:
Volume = 11 inches x 8 inches x 15 inches = 1320 cubic inches
For Box B:
Volume = 14 inches x 6 inches x 14 inches = 1176 cubic inches
The difference in volume between the two sandboxes is:
1320 cubic inches - 1176 cubic inches = 144 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of sand needed for Box A is 144 cubic inches more than the volume of sand needed for Box B.
Volume = length x width x height
For Box A:
Volume = 11 inches x 8 inches x 15 inches = 1320 cubic inches
For Box B:
Volume = 14 inches x 6 inches x 14 inches = 1176 cubic inches
The difference in volume between the two sandboxes is:
1320 cubic inches - 1176 cubic inches = 144 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of sand needed for Box A is 144 cubic inches more than the volume of sand needed for Box B.
