Mental block

I dont sell that much firewood. Just friends and family really. But I have a customer who needs to fill a section of a shed measuring:

2.0m High

2.4m Long

2.0m Wide

 

Am I right in saying the volume of a cuboid is HxLxW?

 

Therfore the answer is 9.6m3 !!

 

Surely thats wrong???

 

Cant believe it could be that much, I think I am having a blonde day. Can someone hit me with a stick and do my maths homework for me please?

Thats correct.

 

2x2x2 is 8, and the .4 makes another 1.6 to be added on....to make 9.6

 

Chhance are you wont be able to fill it to the top of to the very front so it might not actually take that much wood.

H*W*L

 

so thats 2.0 * 2.0 = 4.0 then * 2.4 = 9.6 cubed

 

so yes your right:001_smile: have fun
