Answer:

49.5ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is 2 ft more than 3 times as long as it is wide then:

l = 3w + 2

which means:

w = (l-2)/3

and:

d = 1/2((l-2)/3)

Now just substitute in 11 for l

w = (11 - 2)/3

w = 9/3

w = 3

d = 1/2((11-2)/3)

d = 1/2(9/3)

d = 1/2(3)

d = 1.5

So the total volume is:

11 * 3 * 1.5

49.5
