the shipping container is 3,040 cubic feet. How tall is the shipping container?

Answer 1

9.5 feet

Explanation:

we are given 8 feet by 40 feet meaning that we multiply 8 with 40

8 x 40 = 320

after that we take the cubic feet shipping container measure 3040

3040/320

=9.5 feet tall

Answer 2

9.5 feet

Explanation:

The volume of a prism is V = Bh, where B = AREA of the base and h = height of the prism.

We're given:

• Dimensions of Base (8 and 40)
• Volume of prism (3,040)

• 3040 = 320h

Now, we divide 3040 by 320 and get the height in feet.

• 3040/320
• 9.5

Therefore, the shipping container is 9.5 feet.
