A mound of dirt sits next to a hole that is 8 feet deep by 8 feet wide by 8 feet long. If the dirt was dug out to make the hole, how much dirt is in the pile?

Respuesta :

To get the answer you would get the area
8*8*8= 512 feet^2
512 feet squared is your answer.

Answer: 512 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A mound of dirt sits next to a hole that is 8 feet deep by 8 feet wide by 8 feet long.

If the dirt was dug out to make the hole, then the amount of dirt is in the pile is given by volume i.e

[tex]V=length\times width\times depth\\\\\Rightarrow\ v=8\times8\times8\\\\\Rightarrow\ v=512\ ft^3[/tex]

Hence, the amount of dirt is in the pile is [tex]512\ ft^3[/tex]
