Mr. Chiro drew a design for an outdoor kitchen. The food prep area will be on a rectangular platform made of concrete that is 5 feet high. The storage shelf will be on a similar platform that is 6 feet high. What will be the total volume of the platforms?

The volume of platform

= 11 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the Platforms are

The food prep area = 5 ft

Storage shelf = 6 ft

Side of rectangle = b width of platform = d

Therefore area of platform = b·d

Volume of the food prep area platform = Area * height = 5 b·d ft³

Volume of the storage shelf platform = Area * height of storage shelf platform = 6 b·d ft³

Therefore the total volume = Volume of food storage platform + volume of storage shelf platform = 5 b·d ft³ + 6·b·d ft³ = 11·b·d ft³
