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

`307,572\ ft^(3)`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a pyramid is equal to

`V=(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=(1)/(3)(12,996)(71)=307,572\ ft^(3)`
