Question 340287: this is three dimensional figures:
a rectangular sandbox is 3 feet by 4 feet. The depth of the box is 8 inches, but the depth of the sand is 3/4 of the depth of the box. what is the volume of sand in the sandbox? round to the nearest tenth.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the depth of box = 8inches = 3/4 feet.
the depth of sand = 3/4 of the depth of box
=3/4*3/4
=9/16 feet
..
volume of sand = L*W*(H of sand)
V= 3*4*9/16
V=27/4 cu.ft
V=6.75 cu.ft
