Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of wood chips in the pickup truck is  $70$ cubic units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The pickup truck rectangular bed with an area of $35$ square feet.

Height of wood chips is $2$ feet.

From the question,

The shape formed by combination of rectangular bed and wood chips is a cuboid shape.

So, Volume of cuboid is $= l\times b\times h$ cubic unit.

Then, Volume of wood chips $=Area\times height$

                                                 $= 35 \times 2=70$ cubic units.

Therefore, Volume of wood chips in the pickup truck is  $70$ cubic units.
