Answer:

2120 ft³

Explanation:

You want the volume of a hexagonal pyramid with side length 12 ft and height 17 ft.

Base area

The area of the base is given by the formula ...

A = (3/2)√3·s² . . . . where s is the side length

A = (3/2)√3·(12 ft)² = 216√3 ft²

Volume

The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula ...

V = 1/3Bh

where B is the area of the base, and h is the height.

The volume of this pyramid is ...

V = 1/3(216√3 ft²)(17 ft) ≈ 2120 ft³

The volume of the solid is about 2120 cubic feet.
