Question

The floor of Catelyn's bedroom has an area of 123 1/2 square feet. The walls are 9 1/2 feet tall. What is the volume of Catelyn's bedroom?

Answer 1

Volume of the Catelyn's bedroom =
`1173(1)/(4)` cubic feet

Explanation:

Floor of Catelyn's bedroom has area =
`123(1)/(2)` square feet

= 123.5 square feet

Height of the walls =
`9(1)/(2)` feet

= 9.5 feet

Shape of the room is like a rectangular prism.

Therefore, volume of the bedroom = Area of the rectangular base × Height

= 123.5 × 9.5

= 1173.25

=
`1173(1)/(4)` cubic feet
