To find the volume of a pyramid, we use the formula V = (1/3) * B * h, where V is the volume, B is the area of the base, and h is the height or altitude.
First, we need to find the area of the base of the pyramid. Since the base is a square with sides of 112 feet, the area of the base is 112 * 112 = 12544 square feet.
Next, we can plug the values into the volume formula:
V = (1/3) * B * h
V = (1/3) * 12544 * 71
V = (1/3) * 889024
V ≈ 296341.33333
The volume of the pyramid at the Louvre Museum is approximately 296341.33333 cubic feet.
Use the volume formula to determine the volume of the pyramid at the Louvre Museum if it has a base that is 112 feet long on each side and has an altitude of 71 feet.(1 point
