Question
A slice of cheese is cut from a wheel of parmesan, and the wedge approximates the shape of a rectangular pyramid. Its base is 4 cm wide and 9 cm long. The wedge is 21 cm tall. What is the volume of the piece of cheese?
And 252 is not an option.

To find the volume of the wedge, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid:
V = (1/3) * base area * height
First, we need to find the area of the base of the wedge:
Area = length * width
Area = 9 cm * 4 cm
Area = 36 cm^2
Now we can plug the values into the formula:
V = (1/3) * 36 cm^2 * 21 cm
V = (1/3) * 756 cm^3
V = 252 cm^3
Therefore, the volume of the piece of cheese is 252 cm^3.

I jusr said 252 isn't an option.

I apologize for not reading your request carefully. Let's calculate the volume again without the number 252.
V = (1/3) * 36 cm^2 * 21 cm
V = 252 cm^3
Since 252 cm^3 is not an option, we need to reevaluate the calculations. Let's double-check the dimensions of the base and height.
The base of the wedge is a rectangle with dimensions 4 cm by 9 cm. The height of the wedge is 21 cm. To calculate the volume of the wedge:
V = (1/3) * base area * height
V = (1/3) * (4 cm * 9 cm) * 21 cm
V = (1/3) * 36 cm^2 * 21 cm
V = 252 cm^3
It seems that the correct volume of the piece of cheese is indeed 252 cm^3 based on the provided dimensions. If 252 cm^3 is not an acceptable answer, please let me know, and I will reevaluate the calculations.
