To determine how many bags can fit into the overhead bin, we need to follow these steps:
1. **Calculate the volume of the overhead bin**:
\[
\text{Volume of the overhead bin} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height}
\]
Given the dimensions:
- Length = 102 inches
- Width = 36 inches
- Height = 33 inches
\[
\text{Volume of the overhead bin} = 102 \times 36 \times 33 = 127,464 \, \text{cubic inches}
\]
2. **Determine the volume of one bag**:
To find the volume of the bag, we can assume that the bags are similar in shape. However, since the dimensions were not given, we can only use the surface area to get a rough estimate.
- Surface area of the bag = 800 square inches
Volume can vary widely for different shapes, but for a simple rectangular box shape (assuming the shape of the bag is somewhat box-like), there isn't a direct formula just from surface area without additional information about the dimensions (length, width, height).
If you had the dimensions of the bag, you could calculate the volume directly. Since we do not have the bag's dimensions, let's proceed by assuming you have a rough idea of the bag dimensions to provide a volume.
3. **Calculate the number of bags that can fit**:
Once we have an estimated volume of a bag, we would divide the volume of the overhead bin by the volume of one bag to find the number of bags that can fit.
\[
\text{Number of bags} = \frac{\text{Volume of the overhead bin}}{\text{Volume of one bag}}
\]
Note: Since we don't know the volume of the bag directly just from surface area, you would need its dimensions for an exact answer.
4. **Whole bag count**:
Since you mentioned that you can't fit half a bag, the answer should be rounded down to the nearest whole number after calculating.
Please provide the bag dimensions if available, or if you want, we can estimate the number of bags that can reasonably fit based on typical bag sizes.
