Volume \(= l \cdot b \cdot h = 10 \, ft^3\)
Now we have twice as long, twice as wide, and twice as high as the first sandbox,
\(L=2\cdot l\)
\(B=2\cdot b\)
\(H=2\cdot h\)
Final volume \(=L\cdot B\cdot H =2\cdot l\cdot 2\cdot b\cdot 2\cdot h = 8\cdot (l\cdot b\cdot h) =8\cdot 10=80 \,ft^3\)

Therefore, D
