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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The increase is 1.5 x 6 x 3

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Go on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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\[^{3}\]

27 cubic* feet
