The volume formula for a pyramid is given by: V = (1/3) x base area x height.
First, we need to find the base area of the pyramid. Since the base is a square, we can find the area by multiplying the length of one side by itself: base area = 112 ft x 112 ft = 12,544 sq ft.
Now, we can plug this into the volume formula along with the given height of 71 ft: V = (1/3) x 12,544 sq ft x 71 ft.
Calculating this, we get: V = 1/3 x 1,122,784 cubic ft.
Therefore, the volume of the pyramid at the River museum is approximately 374,261.33 cubic ft.
Use the volume formula to determine the volume of the pyramid at the River museum if it has a base that is 112 ft long on each side and has an altitude of 71 ft
