Answer:

43100

Explanation:

A rectangular one-story house covers an area of 3,700 square feet. The ceilings are 8 feet high. The owners add a second floor to the house. The second floor is 50 feet long and 30 feet wide with ceilings that are 9 feet high. What is the total volume of the interior of the house?

Volume = length x width x height

or volume = area x height

Volume of the one- storey = 3700 x 8 = 29600 square feet

Volume of the second floor = 50 x 30 x 9 = 13500 square feet

volume of interior = 29600 + 13500 = 43100 square feet
