Sand pedestal

The pedestal under the giant billboard is a prism-shaped steel plate structure filled with sand. How much sand will it fit, and what is the area of ​​the plates used? We can neglect their thickness. The dimensions are 1m*4m*90cm.

Correct answer:

V =  3.6 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=1\text{m} \\ b=4\text{m} \\ c=90\text{cm}\to \text{m}=90:100\text{m}=0.9\text{m} \\ V=a\cdot b\cdot c=1\cdot 4\cdot 0.9=3.6{\text{m}}^3 \end{gathered}$$
