Question 423410
this sounds like a volume to me.


length is 30 feet.


width is perhaps 62 inches.


height is perhaps 32 inches.


you can convert everything to inches or you can convert everything to feet.


we'll convert everything to inches.


30 feet * 12 = 360 inches.


your volume of your rectangular prism is equal to length * width * height.


this becomes 360 inches * 62 inches * 32 inches = 714,240 cubic inches.


if you just wanted area, then you should only have had 2 measurements.


one of length and one of width.


since you state that length = 30 feet, then your width had to be one measurement.


check what you are looking for and submit the problem again if you are still not clear what you want.


area of a rectangle = length * width
volume of a rectangular prism = length * width * height.


rectangle is a 2 dimensional object.
rectangular prism is a 3 dimensional object.


convert all measurements to the same type measure before multiplying.


if your measurement is in inches, then the area of your rectangle would be in square inches and the volume of your rectangular prism would be in cubic inches.


if your measurement is in feet, then the area of your rectangle would be in swuare feet and the volume of your rectangulr prism would be in cubic feet.
