A. 48
B. 72 (the correct answer)
C. 88
D. 96
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4 chests base area of each chest = 8 ft^2
3 chests height = 2 feet
Volume of chest = area of base * height
Volume of one chest = 8*2 =16 ft^3
Volume of 3 chests = 16*3 =48 ft^3 ------------------------1
Volume of 4th. Chest = 8 * 3 =24 ft^3-----------------------2
Total volume = 48+24 = 72 ft^3
