Question

(a). The largest building in the world by volume is the boeing 747 plant in Everett, Washington. It measures approximately 631m long, 707 yards wide and 110ft high. What is its volume in cubic feet? (b) Convert your result from part (a) to cubic meters.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the building, l = 631 m

Breadth of the building, b = 707 yards

Height of the building, h = 110 ft

1 meter = 3.28084 feet

631 m = 2070.21 feet

1 yard= 3 feet

707 yards = 2121 feet

(a) The volume of any cuboidal shape is given by :

$V=l\times b\times h$

$V=2070.21\ ft\times 2121\ ft\times 110\ ft$

$V=4.83\times 10^8\ ft^3$

(b) $V=4.83\times 10^8\ ft^3$

$V=(4.83\times 10^8\ ft^3)(\dfrac{1\ m}{3.281\ ft})^3$

$V=1.37\times 10^7\ m^3$

Hence, this is the required solution.
