A wood salesperson has a fenced area in which they keep all their wood to keep it

organized. The area itself is 12 ft. long and 8 ft. wide. The fence is 8 ft. high. They
have bigger pieces of wood that are 4 ft. long and 2 ft. wide and smaller pieces of wood
that are 2 ft. long and 1 ft. wide. Each piece of wood is 6 in., or ½ ft., tall.
1. What is the volume of the fenced in area in square ft.?

1 answer

To find the volume of the fenced in area, we need to calculate the volume of the box formed by the fenced area.

Length of the fenced area = 12 ft
Width of the fenced area = 8 ft
Height of the fenced area = 8 ft

Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 12 ft x 8 ft x 8 ft
Volume = 768 cubic feet

Therefore, the volume of the fenced in area is 768 cubic feet.
