Volume of the pyramid = 5780250.7 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Building height = 848 ft

Pyramid has a square base. This means all the sides of the square are equal.

It is a square pyramid

side of the square = 143 ft

Volume of a rectangular pyramid = 1/3 × width × length × height

width = length = 143 ft

Volume of a square pyramid = 1/3 × length × length × height

Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 × 143 × 143 × 848

Volume of the pyramid = 5780250.67

To the nearest tenth, Volume of the pyramid = 5780250.7 ft³
