Question

A storage shed is shaped like a rectangular prism. The width is 7 yards, the height is 3 ​yards, and the volume is 147 cubic yards. Find the length of the storage shed

Answer 1

Length of shed is 7 yards

Explanation:

Mathematically the volume of the shed is the area of the base * height

Area of the base = length * width

let the length be x

Thus, the area of the base = x * 7 = 7x

Now, 7x * 3 = 147

21x = 147

x = 147/21

x = 7 yards
