Question

I've ordered this shed. It is 2 meters wide, 3.25 meters long and 2 meters tall to the roof line. From the roof line to the peak is 0.8 meters high. I would like a 2nd floor or loft to increase the storage space. Please calculate the total amount of storage.

Answer 1

18.2 cubic meters.

Explanation:

From the measurements they give us, we assume that the shed has the shape of a rectangular prism, however, to calculate the amount of storage, we must calculate the volume.

The volume would be:

V = height * width * length

According to the statement height = 2, width = 2 and length = 3.25

V = 2 * 2 * 3.25

V = 13

That is, the volume of the shed is 13 cubic meters, but then they mention that the roof line to the peak is 0.8 meters high, which means that the volume can increase, the new volume would be changing the height = 2 + 0.8 = 2.8, the other values remain the same:

V = 2.8 * 2 * 3.25

V = 18.2

That is to say that when adding that part, the volume that is to say total amount of storage is 18.2 cubic meters.
