2. Mr. Cooper’s company rents storage containers to customers. The customers can choose which size fits their needs and Cooper Storage delivers the containers. After the customers fill the containers, the company transports them to a warehouse to be stored until the customer needs the contents.
(a) The volume for one size of the storage containers is 574 ft3. The container has a length of
10 ft and a width of 7 ft. How tall would a stack of 6 containers be if they were stacked one on top of another?

ok first find the height of one container by using the formula for a prism
OpenStudy (crashonce):
@AwesomeSays3! find the height of one
OpenStudy (utterly_confuzzled):
V=wlh
574=(10)*(7)*h
Use that to solve for the height of one container
OpenStudy (crashonce):
use @Utterly_Confuzzled 's statement

simplify the statement: 574=70h agree?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (crashonce):
then the height is just 574/70
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (crashonce):
or 8.2

so the height of 6 is 8.2x6 or 49.2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the hieght is 49.2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its 3444
OpenStudy (crashonce):
the height of one is 8.2
OpenStudy (crashonce):
the total is 49.2
