Answer 2

46.67 cubic feet

Explanation:

The formula for volume of a pyramid is

V = (1/3)Bh where B is the area of the base, and h is the height.

We are givne B = 35 and h = 4. Plug those values in and simplify...

V = (1/3)(35)(4)

V = (1/3)(140)

V = 140/3

V = 46 2/3 cubic feet, which is 46.666667, or 46.67 rounded to the nearest hundredth
