What is the volume of a greenhouse that is 150 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 10 feet high at the sides?

To determine the volume of the greenhouse, you can calculate it using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is length × width × height. In this case, the length of the greenhouse is 150 feet, the width is 20 feet, and the height at the sides is 10 feet.

When applying the formula:

Volume = Length × Width × Height Volume = 150 feet × 20 feet × 10 feet Volume = 150 × 20 = 3,000 square feet (this is the area of the base). Now, multiply the base area by the height: Volume = 3,000 square feet × 10 feet = 30,000 cubic feet.

However, in this case, the options suggest that the height may be averaged or adjusted for a peaked structure, common in greenhouses. If we assume some portion of the roof reaches higher than 10 feet, but we need a reasonable estimate or specific calculation aligned with how greenhouses are typically calculated.

For the typical greenhouse, with a sloping or peaked roof that averages higher than the side height, we can multiply the calculated 3,000 square feet by an average height that approximates the peak. Assuming a peak could add roughly
