Mr. De Leon’s Geometry class has 34 students. After lunch everyone returns to the classroom. Within an hour, each person produces 800 BTUs of heat. The room is 25 feet by 32 feet by 12 feet. How many BTUs per cubic foot were produced? WRITE THE NUMERIC VALUE ONLY

Answer:

Heat produced per cubic feet 2.833 BTU per cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the heat produced by 34 persons.

Heat produced by 1 person = 800 BTUs

Heat produced by 34 persons = 800 * 34 BTUs= 27200BTUs

Now we find the volume of the room that is the space that is occupied by the heat produced by 34 people.

Volume of the room= L*B*H= 25 feet * 32 feet * 12 feet=9600 cubic feet

Dividing the heat produced by the volume will give the heat produced per cubic feet.

Heat produced per cubic feet= 27200/9600= 2.833 BTUper cubic feet.
