Question

A moving truck states that it holds 300 cubic ft of boxes. The truck is 25 ft in length and 8 ft in height. What is the width of the moving truck?

Answer 1

Width of the moving truck is 1.5 ft.

Explanation:

• Step 1: Volume of the moving truck = 300 ft³, length = 25 ft and height = 8ft. Since the truck is in the shape of a cuboid, use the formula of volume of the cuboid to find width.

⇒ Volume of truck = length × width × height

⇒ 300 = 25 × width × 8

⇒ 300 = 200 × width

⇒ width = 300/200 = 3/2 = 1.5 ft
