Question

what is the volume of this rectangular pyramid? 15 ft 16 ft 16 ft cubic feet submit

Explanation:

Step1: Find the base area

The base is a rectangle with length \( l = 16\) ft and width \( w = 16\) ft. The area of the base \( B=l\times w\).
\(B = 16\times16=256\) square feet.

Step2: Use the volume formula for a pyramid

The volume formula for a pyramid is \(V=\frac{1}{3}Bh\), where \(B\) is the base - area and \(h\) is the height. Here, \(h = 15\) ft and \(B = 256\) square feet.
\(V=\frac{1}{3}\times256\times15\).
First, calculate \(256\times15 = 3840\). Then, \(V=\frac{3840}{3}\).
\(V = 1280\)

Answer:

\(1280\)
