The volume of the rectangular prism is
Where:
B is the base area
H is the height
Since the base area is 160 feet^2
Since the volume is 1360 feet^3
Substitute them in the rule above
Divide both sides by 160 to find H
The height of the container is 8.5 feet
The area of the yard is 50,600 square feet.
Option: C.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The given information forms a trapezoid.
The AB is the upper base (a) and its length is 200 feet.
The CD is the lower base (b) and its length is 260 feet.
A straight line distance from AB and CD is the height (h) and its measures as 220 feet.
The area of trapezoid A= .
A= .
=.
=230(220).
=50600
Thus the area of John's yard is 50,600 square feet.
