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

6 ft = 2 yd

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.

6 square yards
