Default Trench

Hi, I have a trench in my back yard and would like to fill it with sand. The trench is 50' long x 6'' high x 5'' wide. How much sand do I need??? Thank you in advance.

First convert all units to the same base unit, then multiply.

50 feet * (6 inches / 12) feet * (5 inches / 12) feet = 10.42 cubic feet
