Alany is planning on using a truck to transport books to a book fair. The base of the truck bed has a length 95 of and a width of 80. The height of the truck bed is 42.How much space does the truck bed have for transporting books?
To calculate the space available in the truck bed for transporting books, we need to find the volume of the truck bed.
The volume of a rectangular prism (such as the truck bed) is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height.
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 95 x 80 x 42
Volume = 319,200 cubic units
Therefore, the truck bed has a space of 319,200 cubic units for transporting books.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's calculate the correct space available in the truck bed for transporting books:
The truck bed is in the shape of a rectangular prism, so the space available can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 95 x 80 x 42
Volume = 319,200 cubic units
Therefore, the truck bed has a space of 319,200 cubic units for transporting books.
