Question

Semi-Trailers are rectangular prisms.

The standard height inside the trailer is

108 inches. If it's 8 ft wide and 20 ft long,

How much toilet paper can it deliver to the

Publix near Ms. Arruda's house?

Hint: Make sure you are using the same units. 1ft = 12in

Answer 1

1440ft^3

Explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism = Length* width * Height

Given

width = 8ft

Length = 20ft

height = 108in

Convert 108 inches to feet

1ft = 12in

x = 108in

x = 108/12

x = 9ft

Get the volume of the prism

Volume = 8 * 20 * 9

Volume = 1440ft^3

Hence the volume of toilet paper it can deliver is 1440ft^3
