Question

Cam decided to rent a storage unit to store his sailboat. The mast of the boat is 20 feet long. The storage unit is 4ft by 8ft by 19ft. Will the mast fit in the storage unit?A. YesB. No

Answer 1

Step 1

Find the volume of the storage

`Length* width* height`

From the data given the storage could have a height of 4ft or 8ft or 19ft. The mast of the sailboat is 20 feet long. This means that no matter which of the measurements is the height of the store, the mast of the sailboat will not fit in because it is longer than all those heights.

Therefore, the answer will be;

No the storage unit is too small to fit the mast of the sailboat
