C) 26 cubic meters
D) 28 cubic meters

Answer 1

The volume of the dumpster is 22 cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the dumpster, we need to multiply its base area by its height. The base area is given as 11 square meters and the height is given as 2 meters. Using the formula for volume of a rectangular prism, the volume of the dumpster is 11 square meters multiplied by 2 meters, which gives us a volume of 22 cubic meters. Therefore, the correct answer is A) 22 cubic meters.
