Question

A frustum of a pyramid has an upper base 100 m by 10 m and a lower base of 80 m by 8 m. If the altitude of the frustum is 5 m, its volume will be _____ cubic meters?

Answer 1

The volume of the frustum of the pyramid is 366.67 cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a frustum of a pyramid can be calculated using the formula:

V = (1/3)h(A1 + A2 + √(A1 * A2))

Where A1 and A2 are the areas of the upper and lower bases, respectively, and h is the height of the frustum.

Plugging in the given values, we have:

V = (1/3)(5)(100 + 10 + √(100 * 10)) = 366.67 cubic meters
