Question

Contruction workers are building a brick wall. The wall needs to be 3 feet tall, and the builders have enough bricks for the wall to have a volume of 279 cubic feet.What will the area of the base of the wall be?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Base\ Area = 93ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Volume = 279ft^3$

$Height =3ft$

Required

The base area

Volume is calculated as:

$Volume = Base\ Area * Height$

This gives:

$279= Base\ Area * 3$

Make Base Area the subject

$Base\ Area = \frac{279}{3}$

$Base\ Area = 93ft^2$
