To calculate the volume of a square pyramid, the formula is:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]
For a square pyramid, the base area (A) is calculated as:
\[
A = \text{side}^2
\]
Given the dimensions you provided, it seems like you might be listing the lengths of the sides (30 feet, 32 feet, 34 feet) but only one of these can be the side length of the square base, and you need to clarify which of these is the height.
Assuming:
- Base side length = 30 feet
- Height = 32 feet
Let's calculate the volume:
1. Calculate the base area:
\[
\text{Base Area} = 30 \times 30 = 900 \text{ square feet}
\]
2. Use the height, which we'll assume is 32 feet, to calculate the volume:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 900 \times 32
\]
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 28800
\]
\[
V = 9600 \text{ cubic feet}
\]
However, if we assume the height to be 34 feet instead of 32 feet:
1. Base area remains the same, 900 square feet.
2. Use height = 34 feet:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 900 \times 34
\]
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 30600
\]
\[
V = 10200 \text{ cubic feet}
\]
None of the options match exactly, so we may need to review the assumptions about which dimension represents the height.
If you were thinking of assigning the dimensions differently (for example using 34 feet as the height and base being 30 feet), please clarify how the dimensions relate to base and height, and I can help resolve it correctly!
Given the constraints, none of the multiple choice options may reflect an accurate value from the interpretations so far, so please confirm the classifications of these dimensions.
