For this case, the first thing we must do is calculate the volume.
We have then:
V = (l) * (w) * (h)
Where,
l: long
w: width
h: height
Substituting values we have:
V = (4) * (3) * (2.5)
V = 30 yd ^ 3
Applying the conversion we have:
V = (30) * (27)
V = 810 feet ^ 3
Answer:
the shed does enclose 810 cubic feet of storage space
