Why: To find the volume of the rectangular garden, use the formula for volume, which is length × width × height. Lucia's garden has a length of 4 feet, a width of 3 feet, and a height of 2 feet. So the volume is 4 × 3 × 2. First, calculate the area of the base: 4 × 3 = 12 square feet. Then, multiply the area by the height: 12 × 2 = 24 cubic feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 24.
Luis is building a rectangular fish tank for his aquarium, inspired by the fish found in the Gulf Coast. The tank is 4 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 2 feet high. What is the volume of the fish tank in cubic feet?
