Answer 21

They are asking for the length \(so~that\) they can estimate the steel.
Most of the time, trucks are used to carry gravel, sand, soil, etc, which weigh about 2.5 tonnes/cubic metre.
So the number of cubic metres required would be
18.4/2.5=7.36 cubic metres.
Assuming a width of at least 2 metres (6.6'), and 1 m high, the length required is
7.36/2 = 3.68 m, say 4 m.

Answer 22

@American.Eagle
The estimate was for the length of the box in the back, add this to the length for the cab in front.
