Question

6. A semi trailer has a length of 36 feet, a width of 92.5 inches and a height of 102 inches. Using the

box at the front of the classroom, determine how many of the boxes could fit into the trailer.

Answer 1

The maximum number of boxes that will fit inside the trailer will be 952.

Explanation:

Volume of single box = a² = (1.5)² = 2.25 square feet.

Volume of cargo space = L x B x H = (28 x 8.5 x 9) = 2142 square feet.

The maximum number of boxes that will fit inside the trailer will be -

n = {(L x B x H)/a²}

n = (2142/2.25)

n = 952
