Jackie has a sandbox the hasn’t parts. A diagram of the sandbox is shown. What is the total volume of the sandbox?

Sandbox measurements: 1ft,
3ft, 4ft, and 4ft

A 48 cubic feet
B 19 cubic feet
C 23 cubic feet
D 28 cubic feet

1 answer

To calculate the total volume of the sandbox, we need to determine the shape of the sandbox based on the given dimensions. It appears that we have a rectangular prism (also known as a box) where the dimensions are:

  • Length: 4 ft
  • Width: 3 ft
  • Height: 4 ft

The formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism is:

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \]

Substituting the given measurements into the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = 4 , \text{ft} \times 3 , \text{ft} \times 4 , \text{ft} \]

Calculating this:

\[ \text{Volume} = 4 \times 3 \times 4 \] \[ \text{Volume} = 12 \times 4 \] \[ \text{Volume} = 48 , \text{cubic feet} \]

Therefore, the total volume of the sandbox is \( 48 , \text{cubic feet} \).

The correct answer is: A 48 cubic feet.
