To find the volume of the shipping container, you can use the formula V = B × h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
First, find the area of the base:
Area of the base = length × width
Area of the base = 20 1/2 ft. × 12 1/4 ft.
Area of the base = (20 + 1/2) ft. × (12 + 1/4) ft.
Area of the base = 41/2 ft. × 49/4 ft.
Area of the base = 21/2 ft. × 49/4 ft.
Area of the base = 102.45 ft.
Now, find the volume:
Volume = Area of the base × height
Volume = 102.45 ft. × 8 1/4 ft.
Volume = 102.45 ft. × (8 + 1/4) ft.
Volume = 102.45 ft. × 33/4 ft.
Volume = 102.45 ft. × 33/4 ft.
Volume = 3378.225 ft³
Therefore, the volume of the shipping container is 3378.225 cubic feet.
