Answer:

It is similar to a mountain in that it is dramatically higher than what is immediately around it. But mountains usually have a distinct apex or peak that is very small relative to the base and not typically level. Plateaus and mesas have tops only a little smaller than the base, and relatively flat. If the aspect ratio is less than 1, plateau. If greater than 1, mesa.

Answer:

Volume = ( About ) 2406.165 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

If you consider a cube or a rectangular prism, you could identify it's volume through the multiplication of it's Base by height. A pyramid has 1 / 3rd that volume, so in order to take a volume of the figure to the left, we would multiply Base * height and take 1 / 3rd of that;

$Square Pyramid,\\Base ( Square ) = a^2, a = length = 17.2 cm\\Height = 24.4 cm\\\\Volume = 1 / 3 ( Base ) ( Height ),\\Volume = 1 / 3 ( ( 17.2 )^2 )( 24.4 ),\\Volume = 1 / 3( 295.84 )( 24.4 ),\\\\Volume = 98.6133333333( 24.4 ),\\Volume = 2406.16533333,\\\\Volume = ( About ) 2406.165$
