When we went camping, we saw that campsite featured a trailer driveway. The driveway measured 21 feet across by 42 feet back and was surrounded on three sides by a concrete curb 6 inches wide and 8 inches tall. There was no curb on the front of the driveway so that a trailer could be driven in. What was the volume of the concrete in the curb?

If I were to do this problem, I would draw a 'careful' sketch of the driveway+curb.

Please show us what you have tried and exactly where you are stuck.

I suspect first you’ll have to convert all measurements to meters since feet and inches are defined as a specific # of meters...

I do not see any reason to do that!

Do you want the answer in cubic inches, cubic feet, or cubic meters?

Or may be cubic Yards?
