Question

A company rents storage sheds shaped like rectangular prisms. Each shed is 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 10 feet tall. The rental cost is $3 per cubic foot. How much does it cost to rent one shed?

Answer 1

$2880

Explanation:

Volume of rectangular prism:

First find the volume of the prism.

l = 12 ft

w = 8 ft

h =10 ft

`\sf \boxed {\bf Volume \ of \ rectangular \ prism = l*w*h}`

= 12 *8 * 10

= 960 cubic feet

To find the rental cost, multiply the volume of the prism by the rental cost per cubic foot.

Rental cost = 960 * 3

= $ 2880
