Answer :

A. 156 cubic feet

B. 278 cubic feet

C. 300 cubic feet

D. 324 cubic feet

Explanation :

Volume of pyramid is
V = (1)/(3) * BaseArea*Height

[ L = 10 , w = 6 , h = 15 ] Ft. each

Base Area
A_(b) = 10.6 x 6 = 60 Sq. Ft.

Volume Of Pyramid :


V = (1)/(3) *60*15 = 300Cubic Ft.

The best answer would be letter C. The volume or the amount of liquid that the pyramid can hold would be 300 cubic feet. I got this answer through solving for the volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base, which formula is '(lwh)/3'. So i multiplied everything given in the problem and divided it by 3.
