The volume of the storage body is
cubic feet.

To find how many boxes Sheila can fit in the storage body, by .

Sheila can fit
boxes into the truck.

Answer 1

Answer:

volume of the storage body is 576. multiply by 9. she can fit 64 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

so draw a line at the short end of the body so it would be 6ft x 4 ft x 2ft = 48 ft. then the rest of the body becomes 11 ft (15 ft minus 4 ft) x 8ft x 6ft =528. so 48 + 528 = 576 then you divide 576 by 9 and get 64.

Answer 2

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shape of the truck isn't given and the volume, we will make some assumptions. You can solve this problem if you have the complete one by following the same procedure. Lets assume:

Shape of Truck is Cuboid

The dimensions of the Truck is 9 by 9 by 9

First, we need to find the volume of the cuboid truck.

Volume is basically 3 dimensions multiplied together. So that would be:

Volume of Truck = 9 * 9 * 9 = 729 cubic feet

Each box has a volume of 9 cubic feet. To get number of boxes that evenly fit the truck, we would need to divide the truck's volume by volume of each box.

729/9 = 81 boxes
