Problema Solution
the city produces 500,000 cubic ft of trash per week. If stacked: 100 yd by 60 yds. How high in ft would the pile be?
Answer provided by our tutors
we assume the trash is stacked in a perfect cube
volume = length * width * height
100 yards = 300 feet
60 yards = 180 feet
let 'x' represent the height of the cube in feet:
500000 = 300 * 180 * x
solving for 'x' we have x=9.2592
the height of the pile would be approximately 9.26 feet
