Belle wants to build a sandbox in the shape of a rectangular prism. She needs the volume of her sandbox to be 18 cubic feet and the height of her sandbox to be

of a foot

Give two possible sets of dimensions,

feet, for the base of Belle's sandbox. Justify your answer.

Respond in the space provided

9x2x1 and 6x3x1

Step-by-step explanation:

This question has multiple answers to it. A sandbox of 18 cubic feet with a height of a foot is actually quite simple. If it is confusing I would try to visualize the sandbox. Since volume is b x h x w the first thing you should do is divide 18 by 1. This would be more important if the height was more than one. Now you just have to find two other numbers that can divide 18. 9x2=18 and 6x3=18 so two possible dimensions for the sandbox are 9x2x1 and 6x3x1
