A tent is in the shape of a square pyramid. The side length of the tent's base is 7 feet, and the height of the tent is 6.6 feet.

Question

What is the volume of the tent in cubic feet?

107.8 ft

101.64 ft

161.7 ft

184.8 ft

Answer 1

The formula for the volume of a square pyramid is V = (1/3) * base area * height.

First, calculate the base area of the tent:
Base area = side length of base^2
Base area = 7 ft * 7 ft = 49 ft^2

Now, calculate the volume of the tent:
V = (1/3) * 49 ft^2 * 6.6 ft
V = (1/3) * 323.4 ft^3
V = 107.8 ft^3

Therefore, the volume of the tent is 107.8 cubic feet.

The correct answer is: 107.8 ft^3
