Question

The volume inside a rectangular storage room is 2,097 cubic feet. The room is 3 feet high. Find the area of the floor.

Answer 1

The Volume (V) of a rectangle is length (l) × width (w) × height (h).
If height (h) = 3 ft, and the area (A) of the floor = l×w, then we can set up the equation:

`A = l * w \\ V = l * w * h = A * h \\ 2097 \: {ft}^(3) = A * 3 \: ft \\ A = 2097 \: {ft}^(3) / 3ft = 699 \: {ft}^(2)`
