Hi!
We are given the information found in the picture below.
Note: The directions aren't correct, but the triangle works for this problem.
The "direct path" is the hypotenuse of this triangle.
To find this, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, where 
and 
are 2 legs of the triangle, and 
is the hypotenuse, aka the longest side of any triangle:
We know and and want
Therefore, is approximately 
Pretty sure the distance is 8 units
Answer:
The area of the warehouse floor is 1925yd²
The volume of the boxes is 4812.5yd³
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to calculate the area, for this we must multiply the length by the width
a = area
l = long = 55yd
w = width = 35yd
a = l * w
a = 55yd * 35yd
a = 1925yd²
to calculate the volume we have to multiply the area by the height
asks us for the volume for half the height so we have to divide the height by 2
a = area = 1925yd²
h = height = 5yd/2 = 2.5yd
v = volume
v = a * h
v = 1925yd² * 2.5yd
v = 4812.5yd³
The area of the warehouse floor is 1925yd²
The volume of the boxes is 4812.5yd³
First, you divide the fraction, and then you multiply it by 100.
So you get:
So, 5/16 is 31.25%
Hope this Helps! :)
