A wood salesperson has a fenced area in which they keep all their wood to keep it
organized. The area itself is 12 ft. long and 8 ft. wide. The fence is 8 ft. high. They
have bigger pieces of wood that are 4 ft. long and 2 ft. wide and smaller pieces of wood
that are 2 ft. long and 1 ft. wide. Each piece of wood is 6 in., or ½ ft., tall.
1. What is the volume of the fenced in area in square ft.?
To find the volume of the fenced in area, we need to calculate the volume of the box formed by the fenced area.
Length of the fenced area = 12 ft
Width of the fenced area = 8 ft
Height of the fenced area = 8 ft
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 12 ft x 8 ft x 8 ft
Volume = 768 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the fenced in area is 768 cubic feet.
