Difficulty: EasyRectangular Volume and Container Capacity

A logistics company is packing a new rectangular shipping crate. The crate measures 1010 feet long, 44 feet wide, and 22 feet high. What is the total volume of the crate in cubic feet?

  1. A
    28
  2. B
    40
  3. 80Answer
  4. D
    800

Answer

80
The total volume of a rectangular crate is found by multiplying its length, width, and height. Multiplying 10×4×210 \times 4 \times 2 gives 8080 cubic feet.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the given dimensions of the rectangular crate.
Length = 10, Width = 4, Height = 2
These are the values needed to use the volume formula.
2
Apply the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: Volume = length × width × height.
10 × 4 × 2
This formula calculates the total 3D space inside the rectangular container.
3
Multiply the numbers together to find the final volume.
10 × 4 = 40, and 40 × 2 = 80
Completing the multiplication provides the volume in cubic feet.
