Volume of rectangular prism = base area * height
Volume = b * 1/2 = 1/2b
Given that the sandbox needs to contain at least 42.3 ft of sand:
1/2b ≥ 42.3
Therefore, the inequality to express the possible area of the base, b, of the sandbox is:
b ≥ 84.6
A sandbox in the shape of a rectangular prism is 1/2ft. high and needs to contain at least 42.3 ft of sand. How would you write an inequality to express the possible area of the base, b, of the sandbox?(1 point)
