Question 878888: length of a box is 10 feet 4 inches and breadth 5 feet 10 inches and height 1 feet 4 inches..calculate the square feet Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Volume = length * width * height
Let's use inches to dispense with those pesky fractions. We'll convert back later.
124" * 70" * 16" = 138,880 cubic inches
1728 cubic inches = 1 cubic foot
138880/1728 = 80.37 cubic feet
.
Square feet would be for a flat surface. If you wanted to calculate the square footage of the cardboard, calculate the area of each side:
124" * 70" = 8680" - 2 sides = 17360"
70 * 16 = 1120 -- 2 sides = 2240"
16 * 124 = 1984 -- 2 sides = 3968"
Total square inches = 23568 square inches
144 square inches in a square foot
23568/144 = 163square feet
