Arionna claims that since there are 3 feet in a yard, there are 9 cubic feet in a cubic yard. Which statement about her claim is true? Arionna is correct because there are 3 feet across the length of a cubic yard and 3 feet across the depth of a cubic yard. 3 times 3 = 9 Arionna is correct because there are 3 feet in a yard and there are 3 dimensions in a cubic yard: length, depth, and height. 3 times 3 = 9 Arionna is incorrect. There are only 3 cubic feet in a cubic yard because there are 3 feet in a yard, and the proportion will remain constant. Arionna is incorrect. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard because a cubic yard is a prism with dimensions 3 ft Times 3 ft Times 3 ft. A prism with those dimensions will take 27 cubes to fill it if each cube is a unit cube of 1 ft.

Arionna is incorrect. There are only 3 cubic feet in a cubic yard because there are 3 feet in a yard, and the proportion will remain constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 3 feet in a yard, there are 9 feet in a cubic yard, since 3 cubed is 9.

The cube root of 9 is 3. This means that there are 3 cubic feet in a cubic yard. In other words, the proportion remains constant, because both are cubed.
