The lengths of the sides of the garend box are 12 feet. Use the formula V=s to find the amout of soil that would be needed.

tHE LEGTHS OF THE GAREND BOX ARE 123 FEET. USE THE FORMULA V=S TO FIND THE AMOUT OF SOIL THAT WOULD BE NEEDED.

12 or 123?
Is the length, width, and height all equal?
V = S is not a correct formula.

volume of a box is  Length x width x height
 
V = LWH
 
As Anne said, you need the height as well as
length and width to determine the volume.
 
And, you first said the sides are 12 ft, then
you said they were 123 ft.  I assume you
mean 12 ft per side.

Hi Shana,
 
If all four sides are 12 Ft, multiply the side length by 4 for the square feet of space.  However you may need cubic feet, which means you will need to multiply again by the number of feet deep the box is.  If the box is less that a foot deep use a fraction such as #/12 or if over a foot 1 #/12.
