Answer 1

Answer: 70 cubic feet

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the formula of a rectangular prism.

V = length x width x height

Since the area of a rectangle is : A = length x width

So, the volume is also:

Volume = area x height

Replacing with the values given and solving for V:

V =35 ft2 x 2 ft = 70 cubic feet
