You've seen the result. The formula is 1/2 the base width, times the
_vertical_ height, (this is the area of a triangle)......
.....times the length. Imagine infinite triangles laid side by side to
make up the rectangular side.
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.
