Answer:
C. 28 ft³
Step-by-step explanation:
The general formula for the volume of a pyramid:
V = , where B = the area of the base and h = height of the pyramid
Since the base is a rectangle, we can find area using the formula:
A = l x w or A = 3 x 4 = 12 ft²
Using B = 12 and h = 7:
V =
V = 28 ft³
The dimension that would give the maximum area is 20.8569
<h3>How to solve for the maximum area</h3>
Let the shorter side be = x
Perimeter of the semi-circle is πx
Twice the Length of the longer side
Length =
Total area =
area of rectangle + area of the semi-circle.
Total area =
When we square it we would have
This gives
From here we divide by 2
The maximum side would be at
This gives us 20.8569
