Problema Solution

miguel has a building that is 55 feet wide, 80 feet long, and 22 feet high. He used the building to store round bales of hay. He was able to use 72.5% of the space. How many cubic feet of hay can be stored in the bulding?

Answer provided by our tutors

Length of building = 80 ft

Height of building = 22 ft

Width of building =  55 ft

Volume of building = Length x Breadth x Height

                            = 80 x 22 x 55

                            = 96800 cubic feet

 

Volume able to use = 72.5% of Volume of the building

                             = (72.5/100) x 96800

                             = 70180 cubic feet = Cubic feet of hay stored
