Question

Use the volume formula to determine the volume of the pyramid at the Louvre Museum if it has a base that is 112 feet long on each side and has an altitude of 71 feet.(1 point

Answer 1

To find the volume of a pyramid, we use the formula V = (1/3) * B * h, where V is the volume, B is the area of the base, and h is the height or altitude.

First, we need to find the area of the base of the pyramid. Since the base is a square with sides of 112 feet, the area of the base is 112 * 112 = 12544 square feet.

Next, we can plug the values into the volume formula:

V = (1/3) * B * h
V = (1/3) * 12544 * 71
V = (1/3) * 889024
V ≈ 296341.33333

The volume of the pyramid at the Louvre Museum is approximately 296341.33333 cubic feet.
