The volume of a barn with a rectangular base measuring 20 ft by 40 ft, vertical walls of 30 ft at the front and 40 ft at the rear, can be calculated using double integrals. The barn's flat roof allows for the application of trapezoidal prism concepts to simplify the integration process. By treating the barn as a trapezoidal prism, one can effectively set up the double integrals needed to compute the volume accurately.

The barn has a flat roof. Use double integrals to compute the volume.
