Answer 1

To determine the area of the sandbox, let's use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is \( A = 12bh \). However, it seems that the formula should be clarified. Typically, the area formula would be \( A = b \times h \), where \( b \) is the base (or width) and \( h \) is the height (or length).

Let's assume \( b = 2.4 \) meters, and \( h = 3.5 \) meters.

1. First, we write the formula: \[ A = b \times h \]

2. Now, substituting for \( b \) and \( h \): \[ A = (2.4) \times (3.5) \]

3. Next, we calculate: \[ A = 2.4 \times 3.5 = 8.4 \]

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