Question

A storage pod has a rectangular floor that measures 20 feet by 13 feet and a flat ceiling that is 6 feet above the floor. Find the area of the floor and the volume of the pod.

Answer 1

Explanation:

the area of a rectangle (which the floor is) is

length × width

in our case

20 ft × 13 ft = 260 ft²

the volume of a box or prism (which the pod is) is

length × width × height

in our case

20 ft × 13 ft × 6 ft = 1,560 ft³

Answer 2

Area: 260 squared feet

Volume: 1560 cubed feet

Explanation:

because the floor is rectangular you multiply the 2 measurements of the floor and you can measure how high the ceiling is to get the volume by also multiplying that number to the area.
