Answer:

227 square feet

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula ...

V = Bh

where B is the area of the base, and h is the height.

Filling in the given information, we have ...

2043 ft³ = B·(9 ft)

Dividing by the coefficient of B gives its value:

B = (2043 ft³)/(9 ft) = 227 ft²

The area of the floor is 227 square feet.
