A house is 50.0 ft long and 26 ft wide and has 8.0-ft-high ceilings. what is the volume of the interior of the house in cubic meters and in cubic centimeters? 290

The shape of the house is not specifically mentioned here so I assume that it has a conventional shape like that of a rectangular prism. A rectangular prism is like a shoe box, that has two bases, the one on top and at the bottom and 4 lateral sides. The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

V = Area of base * Height

The area of base is also rectangular because of the given length of 50 ft and a width of 26 ft. Thus, the area of the rectangular base is

Area of base = 50 ft * 26 ft = 1,300 ft²

Then, we use the height which is equal to 8 ft to finally determine the volume.

Volume = (1,300 ft²) (8 ft)

Volume = 10,400 ft³
