Question

The Louvre museum in France has a glass pyramid in front. The sides measure 114 feet and it reaches a height of 71 feet. How many cubic feet of water could it hold if it were turned into an aquarium​

Answer 1

Answer:

$307,572\ ft^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a pyramid is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}Bh$

where

B is the area of the base of the pyramid

h is the height of the pyramid

Find the area of the base B

$B=114^{2}=12,996\ ft^{2}$

we have

$h=71\ ft$

substitute the values

$V=\frac{1}{3}(12,996)(71)=307,572\ ft^{3}$
