Question

Lokota wants to build a sandbox for his little brother. Determine the amount of sand he needs by finding the area of the sandbox. Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements.

First, write the formula, A=12bh
.

Next use parentheses when you substitute
for b
and
for h
.

Now, simplify by
12, 2.4, and 3.5
.

The area of the sandbox is
m2
.

Answer 1

To find the area of the sandbox, we start with the formula given:

A = 12bh

Now, let's substitute the values provided for b (width) and h (height). Assuming the dimensions are:

• b = 2.4 m (width)
• h = 3.5 m (height)

We substitute these values into the formula:

A = 12(2.4)(3.5)

Now, let's simplify:

1. Calculate \(2.4 \times 3.5\):

   \(2.4 \times 3.5 = 8.4\)

2. Now multiply by 12:

   \(A = 12 \times 8.4 = 100.8\)

Thus, the area of the sandbox is 100.8 m².

So the completed statements will be:

• The area of the sandbox is 100.8 m².
