Jerry is building an indoor beach volleyball court.
He has ordered 14,000 cubic feet of sand.
The dimensions of the court will be 30 feet by 60 feet.
Jerry needs to have a 10-foot boundary around the
court for safety. Be a math detective and determine
how deep the sand will be if Jerry uses all the sand.

Answer:

The deep of the sand will be 3.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find out the area of the court plus a 10-foot boundary around the  court for safety

[tex]A=(30+10+10)(60+10+10)\\A=(50)(80)\\A=4,000\ ft^2[/tex]

step 2

Find the deep of the sand

we know that

The volume of the sand is equal to

[tex]V=Ah[/tex]

where

A is the area of the base

h is the height or deep of the sand

substitute the given values

[tex]14,000=(4,000)h[/tex]

Solve for h

[tex]h=14,000/4,000=3.5\ ft[/tex]
