Question

1)What Miller is adding a room to the back of his house. For the foundation, 12 ft wide, & and 4 ft deep. How many cubic ft of soil have to be Removed?

Answer 1

We need to find the volume, the volume can be found as:

$V=w\cdot l\cdot h$

Where:

w = width = 12ft

l = length = 16ft

h = height = 4ft

so:

$\begin{gathered} V=12\cdot16\cdot4 \\ V=768ft^3 \end{gathered}$

He has to remove 768ft³ of soil
