Question

A sandbox which has a shape of a cuboid is $0.55$ m high, $2.5$ m wide, and $3$ m long. If the sand in the box is $0.25$ m deep, what is the volume of sand in the box?

• A. $4.125$ m${}^3$
• B. $1.875$ m${}^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $1.875$ m${}^3$

The sand is not occupying the sandbox entirely, so we cannot use the dimensions of the sandbox to find out the volume of the sand.




Thus, the volume of the sand in the sandbox $=l\times b\times h=3\times 2.5\times 0.25=1.875$ m${}^3$
