To find the volume of the shipping container, we can use the formula V = B * h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
First, we need to calculate the area of the base by multiplying the length and width of the container:
Area = length * width
Area = 20 1/2 ft. * 12 1/4 ft.
Area = (20 + 2/2) ft. * (12 + 1/4) ft.
Area = 20.5 ft. * 12.25 ft.
Area = 250.625 ft^2
Now, we can find the volume by multiplying the area of the base by the height of the container:
Volume = Area * height
Volume = 250.625 ft^2 * 8.25 ft.
Volume = 2071.8125 ft^3
Therefore, the volume of the shipping container is 2071 13/16 ft^3 (or 2071.8125 ft^3 in decimal form).
