Question

calculating the area of a rolled metal sheet
a steel sheet has been rolled to form a bulkhead. the final length of the sheet is 6 meters, the width is 4 meters, and the thickness is 0.022 meters.
what is the total area and volume of the steel bulkhead?
hint: area = length × width volume = area × height
area = 18 m² volume = 0.396 m³
area = 24 m² volume = 0.528 m³
area = 28 m² volume = 0.616 m³
area = 30 m² volume = 0.66 m³

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the area

The area of a rectangle is given by $A = l\times w$, where $l = 6$m and $w = 4$m.
$A=6\times4 = 24$ $m^{2}$

Step2: Calculate the volume

The volume of the sheet is given by $V=A\times h$, where $A$ is the area and $h$ is the thickness. Here $A = 24$ $m^{2}$ and $h=0.022$m.
$V = 24\times0.022=0.528$ $m^{3}$

Answer:

Area = 24 $m^{2}$ Volume = 0.528 $m^{3}$
