Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
Jeff has been offered a job to fill a barn with hay. How much hay (volume) can go in the barn?
The picture shows the dimensions of the barn.
**Diagram Description:**
The barn is depicted as a rectangular prism with a triangular prism on top. Here are the dimensions provided in the illustration:
- The height of the rectangular prism (without the roof) is **27 ft**.
- The length of the barn is **73 ft**.
- The width of the barn is **43 ft**.
- The height of the triangular prism (representing the roof) is **6 ft**.
A key indicates that the shaded area does not need paint.
**Math Calculation:**
Calculate the volume of the barn:
- **Rectangular section**: \( \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \)
- **Triangular section (roof)**: \( \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} \times \text{Length} \)
**Answer Format:**
The volume of the barn is \( \_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{ft}^3 \).
