A dump truck pours sand into a container in the shape of a rectangular prism with a square base of length 2 feet. The height, h,

of the sand in the container increases at a rate of approximately 8 inches per minute. Create an equation that models the volume, V, of the sand in the container in terms of h, then use the equation to determine the time at which the volume is 64 cubic feet. Note that the volume of a rectangular prism is V=l×w×h, where l, w, and h are the length, width, and height of the prism.
