Question

A cargo truck is 2.74 yards wide, 4.23 yards high, and 9.71 yards long. How many cubic feet of cargo space does the truck have?

Answer 1

All you have to do is multiply length x width x height

9.71 x 2.74 x 4.23 = 112.54
`feet^(3)`

Answer 2

There is a space of 3038.60 cubic feet ( approx ) in the truck.

Explanation:

Since, the space in the truck = volume of the truck ,

Given,

Length of truck = 9.71 yards = 29.13 feet ( ∵ 1 yard = 3 feet ),

Width of the truck = 2.74 yards = 8.22 feet,

Height of the truck = 4.23 yards = 12.69 feet,

No, the shape of the truck must be cuboid,

∵ volume of a cuboid = length × width × height

Hence, the volume of the truck = 29.13 × 8.22 × 12.69 = 3038.602734 cubic feet ≈ 3038.60 cubic feet.

Therefore, there is a space of 3038.60 cubic feet ( approx ) in the truck.
