First, convert all measurements to the same unit. Since the height is already in feet, we will convert the length and width to feet.
20 1/2 ft = 20.5 ft
12 1/4 ft = 12.25 ft
Now, calculate the volume using the formula V = B x h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
The area of the base (B) is length x width:
B = 20.5 ft x 12.25 ft
B = 250.625 ft²
Now, calculate the volume:
V = 250.625 ft² x 8/14 ft
V = 143.75 ft³
Therefore, the volume of the shipping container is 143.75 cubic feet.
20 1/2 ft = 20.5 ft
12 1/4 ft = 12.25 ft
Now, calculate the volume using the formula V = B x h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
The area of the base (B) is length x width:
B = 20.5 ft x 12.25 ft
B = 250.625 ft²
Now, calculate the volume:
V = 250.625 ft² x 8/14 ft
V = 143.75 ft³
Therefore, the volume of the shipping container is 143.75 cubic feet.
