Answer:

19 feet

The length of the storage area is 19 feet.

Explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism (a box shape) is given by:

Volume = length * width * height

We are given three out of four of these numbers. Fill them in and solve for the missing number.

570 = x * 6 * 5

570 = 30x

divide by 30

19 = x

The length is 19 feet. The storage area is 19 feet long.
