Question

The largest building in the world by volume is the boeing 747 plant in Everett, Washington. It measures approximately 632 m long, 710 yards wide, and 112 ft high.
What is the cubic volume in feet, convert your result from part a to cubic meters?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that,

The dimensions of the largest building in the world is 632 m long, 710 yards wide, and 112 ft high. It basically forms a cuboid. The volume of a cuboidal shape is given by :

Since,

1 meter = 3.28084 feet

632 m = 2073.49 feet

1 yard= 3 feet

710 yards = 2130 feet

V = lbh

$V=2073.49 \ ft\times 2130\ ft\times 112\ ft$

$V=494651774.4\ ft^3$

$V=4.94\times 10^8\ ft^3$

Also,

$V=(4.94\times 10^8\ ft^3)(\dfrac{1\ m}{3.281})^3$

$V=1.39\times 10^7\ m^3$

Hence, this is the required solution.
