hero (hero):

HInt: Multiply the the given area by 2 to find the cubic volume in feet

hero (hero):

@simonbane, you there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

hero (hero):

Are you going to solve it or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1280?

hero (hero):

1280 ft^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's it?

hero (hero):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why should we multiply it in 2?

hero (hero):

Because he's he wants to be 2 feet higher than where he already is. Filling it 1 ft would put him back at ground level. Filling another foot would get him 1 ft above ground level. 640ft^3 + 640ft^3 = 1280ft^3

hero (hero):

If you don't get it, then draw a picture.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hero (hero):

Where's my medal?
