To find the capacity of the bin, we first need to calculate the area of the cross section.
The area of a trapezium can be calculated using the formula:
Area = ((base 1 + base 2) / 2) * height
Plugging in the values:
Area = ((1.2 + 1) / 2) * 1.5
Area = (2.2 / 2) * 1.5
Area = 1.1 * 1.5
Area = 1.65 square meters
Now, to find the volume of the bin, we multiply the area of the cross section by the length of the bin:
Volume = Area * length
Volume = 1.65 * 2
Volume = 3.3 cubic meters
Therefore, the capacity of the bin is 3.3 cubic meters.
a storage bin is 2m with vertical sides and a cross section in the form of a trapezium, height 1.5meters base 1 is 1,2m and base 2 is 1m
