What is the volume of the cargo hold of the ship?

Vol=

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular prism is obtained using the formula:

Dimensions of shipping containers is given as:

To obtain the volume of the cargo ship, we need to calculate the volume of 1 unit of a shipping container then multiply it by the number of containers the ship can carry.

let n be the number of containers ship can carry.

Volume of ship,

But n=12000
