Question

find the volume of the rectangular pyramid below. round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. answer attempt 1 out of 2 units³ submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the base area

The base is a rectangle with length \( l = 16 \) and width \( w=7 \). The area of a rectangle is \( A = l\times w \).
\( A=16\times7 = 112 \)

Step2: Use the volume formula for a pyramid

The volume formula for a pyramid is \( V=\frac{1}{3}Ah \), where \( A \) is the base - area and \( h \) is the height. Here, \( A = 112 \) and \( h = 16 \).
\( V=\frac{1}{3}\times112\times16=\frac{1792}{3}\approx597.3 \)

Answer:

\( 597.3 \)
