A square pyramid sculpture contains 50 ft by 50 ft of granite and is 6 feet high. What is the area of the base of the sculpture?

Answer 1

The area of the base of the sculpture is simply the area of a square with side length 50ft.

Since the side length of the square base is 50 ft, the area of the square base is (50 ft)*(50 ft) = 2500 ft^2.

Therefore, the area of the base of the sculpture is 2500 square feet.
