To find the volume of the pillar, we need to multiply the area of the cross section by the height of the pillar.
The area of the cross section is given as eighteen and four hundredths square meters, which can be written as:
Area = 18.04 m^2
The height of the pillar is given as twenty and five tenths meters, which can be written as:
Height = 20.5 m
To find the volume of the pillar, we can use the formula:
Volume = Area x Height
Substituting the given values, we have:
Volume = 18.04 m^2 x 20.5 m
Calculating the multiplication, we get:
Volume = 369.22 m^3
Therefore, the total volume of stone contained by the pillar is 369.22 cubic meters.
A pillar from an ancient city was found buried in the ground. It had a cross sectional shape like that shown in the figure. If the area of the cross section is eighteen and four hundredths square meters, and the pillar was twenty and five tenths meters tall, what was the total volume of stone contained by the pillar??
