The foundation of a house is in the shape of a rectangular solid. The volume of the foundation is
2080
cubic feet. The height of the foundation is
10
feet and the width is
8
feet. What is the length of the foundation?
8*10*L = 2080
To find the length of the foundation, we can use the formula for volume of a rectangular solid, which is:
Volume = length x width x height
Given that the volume of the foundation is 2080 cubic feet, the height is 10 feet, and the width is 8 feet, we can plug these values into the formula:
2080 = length x 8 x 10
To find the length, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by (8 x 10):
2080 / (8 x 10) = length
Simplifying the right side of the equation, we get:
2080 / 80 = length
Calculating the division, we find:
26 = length
Therefore, the length of the foundation is 26 feet.
