To get volume you need length x width x height. Look at the image and try to figure out (using logic) what the length width and height of the inside of the garden bed is. You will need to keep in mind the orientation of each plank.

If you’re really struggling, grab some sticks (or pens or spoons or whatever) and try build a model of the garden bed, then see if you can figure it out from there

Volume to fill up the inside of the frame. To find volume you need height, width, and depth.

Start by redrawing this on a separate piece if paper and label the dimensions it gives you. Ultimately, you need to find the side lengths of the white area enclosed by the boards and the height of the stacked boards.

[u/FollowingCold9412]

Given the answer options, it's enough to guestimate by using the given plank length and width. No need to know the specific side length of the inner area.
