Question

Contruction workers are building a brick wall. The wall needs to be 3 feet tall, and the builders have enough bricks for the wall to have a volume of 279 cubic feet.What will the area of the base of the wall be?

Answer 1

`Base\ Area = 93ft^2`

Explanation:

Given

`Volume = 279ft^3`

`Height =3ft`

Required

The base area

Volume is calculated as:

`Volume = Base\ Area * Height`

This gives:

`279= Base\ Area * 3`

Make Base Area the subject

`Base\ Area = (279)/(3)`

`Base\ Area = 93ft^2`
