A "Caution Wet Floor" warning sign is in the shape of a rectangular pyramid. It is 31 in. tall and has a base whose dimensions are 12 in. by 20 in. What is the volume of the sign? (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the volume of a rectangular pyramid, you can use the formula:

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

First, find the area of the base:

Area of base = length * width
Area of base = 12 in. * 20 in.
Area of base = 240 in.^2

Now, plug in the values into the formula:

Volume = (1/3) * 240 in.^2 * 31 in.
Volume = (1/3) * 7440 in.^3
Volume = 2480 in.^3

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