Answer 6

Reread the question. It gives too much information. The question is "
What will be the increase in the volume of the pit?"

Answer 7

The increase is 1.5 x 6 x 3

Answer 8

Go on.

Answer 9

The fact that it's already 4 feet deep is irrelevant because the question wants to know about the increased depth's volume.

6ft x 3ft x 1.5ft = 27ft\[^{3}\]

Answer 10

27 cubic* feet
