a preschool is shopping for sand for its sandbox box A is 9inches wide by 13 inches long by 15 inches high box B inches 6 inches wide by 12 inches long by 20 inches high which box has more sand? apply the formula V = B .h to solve show your work
To find the volume of each box, we will use the formula V = B x h, where B is the area of the base of the box and h is the height of the box.
For box A:
V = B x h
V = 9 x 13 x 15
V = 1755 cubic inches
For box B:
V = B x h
V = 6 x 12 x 20
V = 1440 cubic inches
Therefore, box A has more sand as it has a volume of 1755 cubic inches compared to box B which has a volume of 1440 cubic inches.
