The sandbox is in the shape of a right rectangular prism. The area of the base of the sandbox is 124.8 square centimeters, and it will have a height of 5.7 centimeters. Mr. Berger plans to fill the sandbox half full of sand. What is the volume of sand he will need to fill half of the sandbox?

Answer: he will need 355.68 centimeters³ of sand to fill half of the sandbox

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as

Volume = length * base * height

It can also be expressed as

Volume = base area * height

The area of the base of the sandbox is 124.8 square centimeters, and it will have a height of 5.7 centimeters. This means that the volume of the sandbox is

124.8 * 5.7 = 711.36 centimeters³

Since Mr. Berger plans to fill the sandbox half full of sand, the volume of sand he will need to fill half of the sandbox is

711.36/2 = 355.68 centimeters³
