3. Jamilla is building a square sandbox with sides 7 feet long. She wants to put sand 2 feet deep (1 point

in the box. How much sand should Jamilla order?

1 answer

To calculate the volume of the sandbox, we need to use the formula:

Volume = length x width x height

Since the sandbox is a square, the length and width are both 7 feet.

So, the volume of the sandbox is:

Volume = 7 feet x 7 feet x 2 feet = 98 cubic feet

Therefore, Jamilla needs to order 98 cubic feet of sand.
