Given:

dimensions of a single hay bale:

L = 1 1/3 feet
W = 4 feet

Volume of one bale is 10 2/3 cubic feet

To solve for the height, we will use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

10 2/3 cubic feet = 1 1/3 feet * 4 feet * height
height = 2 feet

Therefore, to solve for the total height of the stacked hay bales, we need to multiply the individual height to the number of hay bales stacked (n = 8 bales)

Total height = 2 feet * 8 bales
Total height = 16 feet.
