in.3

1 answer

The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula:

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

First, let's calculate the base area:
Base area = length * width
Base area = 12 in * 20 in
Base area = 240 in^2

Now, plug in the values into the formula to find the volume:
V = (1/3) * 240 in^2 * 31 in
V = 80 in^2 * 31 in
V = 2480 in^3

Therefore, the volume of the "Caution Wet Floor" warning sign is 2480 in^3.
