The floor of a storage shed is a rectangle with an area of 99 square feet.
The volume of the shed is advertised as 627 cubic feet. How tall is the
shed?
a. 6' 3" b. 6' 4" c. 16" d. 528' e. None
.
Since volume of the rectangle is:
length * width * height
.
"length * width" was given as 99
so
627 = 99 * height
627/99 = height
6.33 feet = height
or
6 1/3 feet
or
6 feet 4 inches
