To find the volume of the rectangular pyramid, we use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height
First, calculate the area of the rectangular base:
Area = length * width
Area = 12 in. * 20 in.
Area = 240 in.^2
Now, plug in the values into the volume 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.
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?
