in.3

Answer 1

The volume of the sign is 2480 in.3

This is correct because if you use the equation (⅓) (12∗20) (31), you get the answer of 2480.


I hope this helps!

Answer 2

The volume of a rectangular pyramid can be calculated using the formula:

Volume = (1/3) * base area * height

First, calculate the base area of the rectangular pyramid:

Base area = length * width
Base area = 12 in. * 20 in.
Base area = 240 in.

Now, plug the base area and height into the volume formula:

Volume = (1/3) * 240 in. * 31 in.
Volume = 7440 in.

Therefore, the volume of the "Caution Wet Floor” warning sign is 7440 cubic inches.

Answer 3

You are correct, and I apologize for the error in my calculation. Thank you for pointing that out. The correct volume of the "Caution Wet Floor" warning sign is indeed 2480 cubic inches. Thank you for your understanding and clarification.
