Answer:  B) 4 BTUs/ft^3

Step-by-step:

For a cuboid of length L, width W and height H, the volume is:

V = L*W*H

In this case, we have:

L = 20ft

W = 15ft

H = 10ft

Then the volume of the room is:

V = 20ft*15ft*10ft = 3000 ft^3

Now we have 6 people, and each generate 400 BTUs per hour.

Then in total, they generate:

6*400 BTUs per hour

2400 BTUs per hour.

Now we want to find the BTUs per ft^3 produced in 5 hours.

Then if they generate 2400 BTUs per hour, in 5 hours they generate a total of:

5*2400 BTUs = 12000 BTUs

Now we take the quotient between the total BTUs and the volume of the room:

Q = (12000 BTUs)/(3000 ft^3) = 4 BTUs/ft^3

The correct option is B.

madam [21]
Astronomers deal with objects in space, so it's most likely they would use geometry to determine how far they are, how big they are, etc.

Have a nice day! :)
