Question

Please help! Especially with the steps!

Answer 1

a) the base is a square to find its area you can use the formula:

`a = {s}^(2) \\`
a being the area and s one of the sides

now just use s= 55ft

`a = {55}^(2) = 3025`
The area of the base is 3025 ft^2

b) the volume of the pyramid is:

`v = (b * h)/(3)`
v being the volume, b the area of the base and h the height of the pyramid
use b=3025 and h=460

`v = (3025* 460)/(3) = 463833.3`
the volume of the pyramid is 463833.3 ft^3
