John has 2 raised rectangular garden beds where he intends to plant herbs one of the garden beds holds 120 ft.³ of dirt the dimensions of the second bed are 5 feet times 5 feet times 2 feet write an equation that could be used to find the total volume of dirt that will fill both garden beds

Step-by-step explanation:

John has two raised rectangular garden beds

First garden

He intend to plants herbs

And the first gardens holds 120ft³

The second garden dimensions are 5ft by 5ft by 2ft

Volume of a cuboid is length * breadth * height

Therefore,

The total volume of the two gardens

V (total) = V1+V2

Given that V1=120

And V2 = lbh

Then, the general formula for the total volume is given as

V (total) = V1+V2

V (total) = 120+lbh

2. Now to get the total volume since we are given

l=5ft, b=5ft and h=2ft

Then,

V (total) = 120+lbh

V (total) = 120 + (5*5*2)

V (total) = 120+50

V (total) = 170ft³

The total volume of the garden is 170ft³
