A Vendor is using an 8-ft by 8-ft tent for a craft fair. The legs of the tent are 9 ft tall and the top forms a square pyramid w
1 answer:
The volume of space the tent occupies, in cubic feet is: 640 ft³
<h3>What is the Volume of a Cuboid?</h3>Volume of a cuboid = (length)(width)(height).
<h3>How to Find the Volume of a Square Pyramid?</h3>The volume of a square pyramid is given as: V = 1/3(length)(width)(height).
The tent is a composite solid that is made up of a cuboid and a square pyramid.
Therefore, the volume of space the tent occupies = Volume of the cuboid + volume of the square pyramid
Volume of cuboid = (length)(width)(height) = (8)(8)(9)
Volume of cuboid = 576 ft³
Volume of square pyramid = 1/3(length)(width)(height) = 1/3(8)(8)(3)
Volume of square pyramid = 1/3(192)
Volume of square pyramid = 64 ft³
The volume of space the tent occupies = 576 + 64
The volume of space the tent occupies = 640 ft³
