Question

Basim used a trailer to haul dirt. The trailer is in the shape of a rectangular prism. The interior of the trailer has a length of 8 feet, a width of 4 feet, and a height of 2 feet. What is the total number of cubic feet of dirt that the trailer can hold when it is filled so that the dirt is level with the top?

Answer 1

Answer:

64 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The Volume of a rectangular prism = Length × Width × Height

Hence,

length = 8 feet

width = 4 feet

height = 2 feet.

Volume of the rectangular prism =

8 feet × 4 feet × 2 feet

= 64 cubic feet

The total number of cubic feet of dirt that the trailer can hold when it is filled so that the dirt is level with the top is 64 cubic feet of dirt
