Question

a. A warehouse is 57 yards​ long, 33 yards​ wide, and 8 yards high. What is the area of the warehouse​ floor? If the warehouse is filled to half its height with tightly packed​ boxes, what is the volume of the​ boxes?

Answer 1

• 1881 square yards
• 7524 cubic yards

Explanation:

The floor area is the product of the floor dimensions:

A = LW = (57 yd)(33 yd) = 1881 yd² . . . . floor area

__

The filled volume is the product of that and the filled height, 4 yards.

V = LWH = (1881 yd²)(4 yd) = 7524 yd³ . . . . filled volume
