Question

22.TRAILERS A semi-truck traler is basially a rectangular prism. A typical height for the inside of these trait a Pipe inches. I the taller is 8 feet wide and 20 feet long. what is the volume of the trailer?

Answer 1

1440 ft^3

Explanation:

Given:

Height (h) = 108 inches

Width (w) = 8 feet

Length (l) = 20 feet

The volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its height, length, and width.

We know that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, so the height in feet will be:

`h=108\text{ in}\cdot\frac{1\text{ ft}}{12\text{ in}}=9\text{ ft}`

Now if we can calculate the volume, substituting:

`\begin{gathered} V=l\cdot w\cdot h \\ \\ V=20\cdot8\cdot9 \\ \\ V=1440\text{ ft}^3 \end{gathered}`

The volume of semi-truck trailer is 1440 ft^3
