Question from julio, a student: how to measure to get 22 cubic feet, do i need the |
Julio,
If the object is rectangular, like a box, and its volume is 22 cubic feet and the length, width and height are measured in feet then then the length times the width times the height is 22. So a 22 cubic foot box might be 11 feet long, 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep since 11 × 2 × 1 = 22. It might also be 5.5 feet long and 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep since 5.5 × 2 × 2 = 22. As long as the dimensions give length × width × height = 22 the volume is 22 cubic feet.
