There is room along a wall in a library for new shelves to be installed. If the shelving area will be 6 feet tall, what should the area of the base be for the volume of the shelving to be 24 cubic yards? (1 point)
OPTIONS
4 square yards
24 square yards
6 square yards
12 square yards
3 answers
6 square yards
6 ft = 2 yd
so we need V = Bh = 2B = 24
B = 12 yd^2
so we need V = Bh = 2B = 24
B = 12 yd^2
Correct! The area of the base should be 12 square yards in order for the volume of the shelving to be 24 cubic yards.
