Leon was wondering one day what the volume of the Eiffel Tower would be if the sides were solid. the base is square with sides measuring 125 M long on each side and an altitude of the square pyramid is 324 m. what would the volume be in cubic meters

(think of it as a rectangular pyramid)

1 answer

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

Volume = (base area * height) / 3

The base of the pyramid is a square with sides measuring 125 m, so the area of the base is calculated as:

base area = side^2
base area = 125 m * 125 m
base area = 15625 m^2

The height of the pyramid is given as 324 m.

Now we can plug the values into the formula to find the volume:

Volume = (base area * height) / 3
Volume = (15625 m^2 * 324 m) / 3
Volume = 5,062,500 m^3

Therefore, the volume of the Eiffel Tower, considering the sides as solid, would be 5,062,500 cubic meters.
