The Eiffel Tower can be modeled as a square pyramid. To find the volume of a square pyramid, we use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * Base Area * Height
First, let's calculate the base area of the pyramid. Since the base is a square, we can use the formula for the area of a square:
Base Area = Side Length * Side Length
Base Area = 125 m * 125 m = 15625 m^2
Now, let's calculate the volume of the pyramid using the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * Base Area * Height
Volume = (1/3) * 15625 m^2 * 324 m
Volume ≈ 1,625,000 m^3
Therefore, the volume of the Eiffel Tower, if the sides were solid, would be approximately 1,625,000 cubic meters.
Leon was wondering one day what the volume of the Eiffel Tower would be if the sides were solid. The base is a square with sides measuring 125 m long on each side, and the altitude of the square pyramid is 324 m. What would the volume be in cubic meters?(1 point)
