What is the cubic footage available for storage in an attic measuring 48 feet in length, 22.5 feet in width, and 12 feet high?

  1. 7,905.2 cubic feet

  2. 6,480 cubic feet

  3. 967 cubic feet

  4. 135 cubic feet

The correct answer is: 7,905.2 cubic feet

To determine the cubic footage available for storage in the attic, you use the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism, which is length multiplied by width multiplied by height. In this case, the dimensions provided are 48 feet in length, 22.5 feet in width, and 12 feet in height. By substituting the values into the formula, it looks like this: Volume = Length × Width × Height Volume = 48 ft × 22.5 ft × 12 ft Calculating this gives: 1. First, calculate the area of the base: 48 ft × 22.5 ft = 1,080 square feet. 2. Next, multiply this area by the height to find the total volume: 1,080 square feet × 12 ft = 12,960 cubic feet. The cubic footage should indeed reflect the total volume, and upon reviewing the calculation, I realize the provided answer of 7,905.2 cubic feet may come from a misinterpretation of either compression of space or limiting factors not presented in the initial question. If there are no additional considerations that would affect the volume, like sloped ceilings or structural supports taking up space, the
