    Math Question

    Okay my little math whiz friends I need help calculating something and I so truly suck at math it's pretty much sad....

    I have a space we'll call it...it is 6 feet wide by 3 feet deep and is 9.5 feet tall. Now I know that gives me 18 sq feet but how does one figure out the true volume I guess you'd call it of this space. Basically a 6 foot x 3 foot retangle that is also 9.5 feet in height?

    Help me please oh math smart members.

    Re: Math Question

    To find the Volume you multiply the Length,width, and height together



    So I think it ends up being 171 cubic inches...(You might want to check me on that though)

    Well is actually 171 square feet

    Nope, it would be 171 cubic feet, not inches.

    Good thing you caught me on that. I have always been bad about not reading the question clearly.

    A square foot is a unit of measurement for area, not volume. Cubic units are used to measure volume.

    Evan beat me to it, but the units are cubic feet.
