OK, I need some help from the rbp math whizzes. I'm trying to figure
out the cubic feet volume to a triangular enclosure in the shape of a
traditional A-frame tent (but a bit shorter).
Dimensions are 7' wide at the base, 7' from the base to the peak and 4
1/2" long.
How many cubic feet is that? I'm stumped.
Did you mean 4 1/2 inches or feet?
volume = length * (width * height / 2)
if feet then 4.5' * ( 7' * 7' / 2 ) = 110.25 cu ft
if inches then 0.375' ( 7' * 7' / 2 ) = 9.1875 cu ft
