Question

16.find the volume of the square pyramid shown. round to the nearest whole number. The diagram Is not drawn to scale.

A-11,760 ft.³
B-17,052 ft.³
C-5600 ft.³
D-11,774 ft.³

Answer 1

17,052
1/3* B*h is the the formula

Answer 2

B-17,052 ft.³

Explanation:

Since, the volume of a right square pyramid is,

`V=(1)/(3)a^2(h)`

Where, a is the base edge,

h is the slant height

Here, by the diagram,

a = 42 ft,

h = 29 ft,

Thus, the volume of the given pyramid is,

`V=(1)/(3)(42)^2(29)`

`=(1)/(3)(1764)(29)`

`=(51156)/(3)`

`=17052\text{ cube ft}`

Hence, option B is correct.
