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

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} \]

where the base area for a rectangle is given by:

\[ \text{Base Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \]

Step 1: Calculate the volume of the first pyramid

Given:

  • Length = 26 m
  • Width = 31 m
  • Height = 35 m

Calculate Base Area:

\[ \text{Base Area} = 26 \times 31 = 806 , \text{m}^2 \]

Calculate Volume:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 806 \times 35 \]

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 28210 = 9403.33 , \text{m}^3 \]

Step 2: Calculate the volume of the pyramid at the Louvre Museum

Given:

  • Base side length = 112 ft (this is a square pyramid)
  • Height = 71 ft

Calculate Base Area:

\[ \text{Base Area} = 112 \times 112 = 12544 , \text{ft}^2 \]

Calculate Volume:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 12544 \times 71 \]

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 890144 = 296714.67 , \text{ft}^3 \]

Step 3: Calculate the volume of the new juice bottle

Given:

  • Base dimensions = 8 cm by 15 cm
  • Height = 22 cm

Calculate Base Area:

\[ \text{Base Area} = 8 \times 15 = 120 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Calculate Volume:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 120 \times 22 \]

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 2640 = 880 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Summary of Volumes

  • Volume of the first pyramid: 9403.33 m³
  • Volume of the Louvre pyramid: 296714.67 ft³
  • Volume of the new juice bottle: 880 cm³
A construction company is digging a drainage trench. it makes the shape of an upside-down rectangular pyramid. The top opening will be 30 ft. wide by 250 ft. long, and the deepest part in the middle will be 15 ft. what is the capacity for this trench?

To find the volume of an upside-down rectangular pyramid (which has the same volume formula as a regular pyramid), we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} \]

In this case, for the trench shaped as an upside-down pyramid:

  • The base area is the area of the top opening (since it is open), which will be the same as the base area of the pyramid.
  • The height is the depth of the pyramid.

Step 1: Calculate the Base Area

Given:

  • Width = 30 ft
  • Length = 250 ft

Calculate Base Area:

\[ \text{Base Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 250 , \text{ft} \times 30 , \text{ft} = 7500 , \text{ft}^2 \]

Step 2: Calculate the Volume

Given:

  • Height (Depth) = 15 ft

Calculate Volume:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} \]

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 7500 , \text{ft}^2 \times 15 , \text{ft} \]

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 112500 , \text{ft}^3 \]

\[ V = 37500 , \text{ft}^3 \]

Final Answer

The capacity of the trench is 37,500 cubic feet (ft³).
