The length of the garden bed is 6 feet

The formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as:

V = lwh

If turner and his grandfather used 18 bags of topsoil, each containing 3/4 of a cubic foot, to fill the bed completely, hence;

V = 3/4 * 18

V = 13.5 cubic foot

In order to determine the length of the garden;

135/10 = 9/2 * 1/2l

27/2 =9/4 l

18l = 27 * 4

18l = 108

l = 6 feet

Hence the length of the garden bed is 6 feet
