The volume of a box is given by the equation V = L x W x H
You are given the following values:
L = 10 feet
W = 4 feet
H = 1 foot
---------------------
Substitute the given values into the volume equation.
V+=+%2810%29%2A%284%29%2A%281%29
highlight_green%28V+=+40ft%5E3%29
---------------------
One cubic foot can hold 7.48 gallons of water
