I believe you need the volume of a rectangular prism...(rectangle doesn't have the volume
if a length is sqrt%288%29yd, a width is sqrt%2850%29yd, and a height is sqrt%2872%29yd, then
the volume will be
V=sqrt%288%29yd%2Asqrt%2850%29yd%2Asqrt%2872%29yd
V=sqrt%282%2A4%29%2Asqrt%282%2A25%29%2Asqrt%282%2A36%29yd%2Ayd%2Ayd
V=2sqrt%282%29%2A5sqrt%282%29%2A6sqrt%282%29yd%5E3
V=60%28sqrt%282%29%29%5E2%2Asqrt%282%29yd%5E3
V=60%2A2%2Asqrt%282%29yd%5E3
V=120%2Asqrt%282%29yd%5E3
or decimal approximation: V=120%281.41%29yd%5E3..->...V=169.2yd%5E3
