To calculate the area of the sandbox, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is \( A = b \times h \). However, you've mentioned a formula as \( A = 12bh \), which seems like there's a coefficient of 12 for the area.

Assuming it should be \( A = bh \), where:
- \( b \) is the base (width)
- \( h \) is the height (length)

Given:
- Width \( b = 2.4 \) m
- Length \( h = 3.5 \) m

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

\( A = b \times h \)
\( A = (2.4) \times (3.5) \)

Now, calculate the area:

\( A = 2.4 \times 3.5 = 8.4 \, \text{m}^2 \)

So, the area of the sandbox is \( 8.4 \, \text{m}^2 \).
