Question

The volume inside a rectangular storage room is 2,088 cubic feet. The room is 3 feet high. Find the area of the floor.

Answer 1

The area of the floor is 696 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation

It was given that, the volume inside a rectangular storage room is 2,088 cubic feet.

The rectangular room is a rectangular prism.

The volume of a rectangular prism is

`V = floor \: area * height`

The height of the room is 3 ft.

This implies that,

`2088= floor \: area *3`

Divide both sides by 3.

`(2088)/(3) = floor \: area`

`floor \: area = 696 {ft}^(2)`

The area of the floor is 696 square feet.
