Question

A FedEx truck has three cargo trailers attached to the back of the cab. If each trailer is 20 feet by 7 feet by 8 feet, how much capacity does the triple trailer have?

Answer 1

The triple trailer has a total capacity of 3360 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triple trailer has a total capacity of 20 x 7 x 8 = 1120 cubic feet per trailer. Since there are three trailers, the total capacity of the triple trailer is 3360 cubic feet.

Answer 2

3360ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of each trailer = 20ft * 7ft *8ft

Volume of each trailer = 140*8

Volume of each trailer = 1120ft^3

Since there are 3 of such cargo;

Capacity of the trailer =3(1120)

Capacity of the trailer = 3360ft^3

Hence the capacity of the trailer is 3360ft^3
