To determine the volume of an object, you multiply its width, depth, and height. In this case, the dimensions of the object are given as 30 feet wide, 15 feet deep, and 10 feet high.

The formula for volume (V) of a rectangular prism is:

[ V = \text{width} \times \text{depth} \times \text{height} ]

Applying the given dimensions:

[ V = 30 \text{ ft} \times 15 \text{ ft} \times 10 \text{ ft} ]

Calculating this step-by-step, first, multiply the width and depth:

[ 30 \times 15 = 450 \text{ sq ft} ]

Next, multiply that result by the height:

[ 450 \text{ sq ft} \times 10 \text{ ft} = 4500 \text{ cubic ft} ]

This shows that the volume of the object is indeed 4500 cubic feet. Therefore, the answer you provided as "C. 3000 cubic ft" does not reflect the correct calculation. The correct answer is actually 4500 cubic feet, which is represented by one of the other choices
