Question

The cubit is an ancient unit. Its length equals six palms. (A palm varies from 2.5 to 3.5 inches depending on the individual.) We are told Noah's ark was 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. Estimate the volume of the ark (in cubic feet). Assume the ark has a shoe-box shape and that 1 palm = 3.50 inch.

Answer 1

The volume of the ark is 11163 cubic feet.

What is the volume of Noah's ark?

The term volume of a box refers to the product of the length, width and height of the box. We have been told that the ark of Noah could be likened to a box and we have been asked to obtain its volume.

Hence;

width = 3.5  * 50 = 175 inches or 14.58 feet

length = 300 * 3.5 = 1050 inches or 87.5 feet

height = 30  * 3.5 = 105 inches or 8.75 feet

Volume of the ark = 14.58 feet * 87.5 feet *  8.75 feet

Volume of the ark = 11163 cubic feet
