The volume of the shipping container can be calculated using the formula V = B x h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.

First, calculate the area of the base:
B = length x width
B = 20.5 ft x 12.25 ft
B = 250.625 ft^2

Now, calculate the volume:
V = B x height
V = 250.625 ft^2 x 8.25 ft
V = 2,071.25 ft^3

Therefore, the volume of the shipping container is 2,071.25 ft^3.
