Answer 1

Answer:The farmer is correct. The volume of one bin is 7.5 cubic meters.

Explanation:

From the given description of the bins the farmer uses,the bins appear to be cuboids.

Let
`l` be the length of the cuboid.

Let
`b` be the breadth of the cuboid.

Let
`h` be the height of the cuboid.

Given that ,

`l=2.5m`

`b=1.5m`

`h=2m`

The volume of the cuboid with length
`l`,breadth
`b`,height
`h` is given by
`lbh`

So,volume is
`(2.5)(1.5)(2)=7.5m^(3)`.
