Q1

A container has length 9750mm, width 6200mm and height 5500mm -
{a) Calculate its floor area in m2
(b) Calculate its volume in m3

Answer 1

(a) 60.45 m2.

(b) 332.475 m^3.

Explanation:

(a) area = length * width

= 9750 * 6200

= 60450000 mm^2

There are 1000*1000 = 1,000,000 mm^2 in 1 m^2 so the area in m^2

= 60.45 m^2.

(b) The height in meters is 5500 / 1000 = 5.5 m

Volume = area of floor * height

= 60.45 * 5.5

= 332.475 m^3.
