The depth of the box once the sand is poured into it is 2 feet

Volume of a box

  • Volume of the sand left = 20 cubic feet
  • Length of the box = 5 feet
  • Width of the box = 2 feet
  • Height of the box = x feet

Volume of the box = length × height × width

20 = 5 × 2 × x

20 = 10x

  • divide both sides by 10

x = 20/10

x = 2 feet

Therefore, the depth of the box once the sand is poured into it is 2 feet
