Final answer:
To determine the number of storage containers that can be made, we need to calculate the area of each container and then divide the total available sheet steel by the area of each container.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many storage containers can be made, we need to determine the area of each container and then divide the total available sheet steel by the area of each container.
From the given information, we know that the containers are shaped like rectangular prisms and the total sheet steel available is 944m².
Let's assume the dimensions of the container are length (L), width (W), and height (H).
The area of each container can be calculated as:
Area of container = 2(LW + LH + WH)
Since all sides of the container are made of sheet steel, the total area of sheet steel used will be equal to the area of the container.
Now, we can set up an equation:
2(LW + LH + WH) = 944m²
To solve this equation, we need more information about the dimensions of the container.
