Question

A warehouse is 55 yards long, 35 yards wide, and 5 yards high. What is the area of the warehouse floor? If the warehouse is filled to half it's height with tightly packed boxes, what is the volume of the boxes?

Answer 1

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
