Question

A shelf storage center has many storage rooms that are 6 feet wide, 10 feet deep, and 12 feet high. What is the volume of the room?

Answer 1

We need to find the volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions 6 ft, 10 ft, and 12 ft:

• The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the product of its dimensions.

Thus, the volume V of the room is given by:

$\begin{gathered} V=6ft\cdot10ft\cdot12ft \\ \\ V=6\cdot10\cdot12(ft\cdot ft\cdot ft) \\ \\ V=720ft^{3} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, that volume is 720 cubic feet.
