Calculate the volume in cubic feet and the capacity in bushels for a rectangle-shaped grain bin.

Rectangle Grain Bin
Formulas
V= W*L*H
PV= W*L*PH/2 = PV
where V is the volume
W the width of the bin
L the bin length
PH is the peak height
PV is the volume of the peak
Conversions
One US bushel (bu US) = 1.244456 cubic feet (ft³)
One Imperial bushel (bu Imperial) = 1.284349 cubic feet (ft³)
