C. If he uses the dimension in Part B, what could be the area of the new shed's floor?

Answer 1

Answer:

b. 6 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The current shed is 240 cubic feet.

a. If he doubles each dimension, the shed will be oversize, because to find the volume, if he doubles each dimension, he multiplies them by 2, which gives a different volume from the volume he needs.

b. volume= length × breadth × height

480=l×b×8

l×b=480/8

    =60.

∴Therefore, the other dimensions could be any 2 factors of 60 that can be multiplied by each other to give 60.

These include; 1 and 60; 2 and 30; 3 and 20; 4 and 15; 5 and 12; 6 and 10;
