Ten triangular piles of piping on the pier are to be loaded - each pile has a 20 foot base, is 15 feet high and 30 feet long. If the breadth of the hold is 60 feet and the piping is to be stowed fore and aft in a 30 foot space, how high will it stow?

Correct Answer: Option B — 25.0 feet

Calculate total volume of ten triangular piles (0.5 * base * height * length * 10 = 45,000 cu ft). Divide by the hold space dimensions (breadth 60 ft * length 30 ft = 1,800 sq ft) to find a stowage height of 25.0 feet.
