Answer 1

Correct! thanks

Answer 2

The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula V = 1/3 * base area * height.

First, we need to find the base area of the sign:
Base area = length * width
Base area = 12 in * 20 in
Base area = 240 square inches

Now, we can calculate the volume of the sign:
V = 1/3 * base area * height
V = 1/3 * 240 sq in * 31 in
V = 1/3 * 7440 cubic inches
V = 2480 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the "Caution Wet Floor" sign is 2480 cubic inches.
