The Louvre museum in France has a glass pyramid in front. The sides measure 114 feet and it reaches a height of 71 feet. How many cubic feet of water could it hold if it were turned into an aquarium​

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]307,572\ ft^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a pyramid is equal to

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}Bh[/tex]

where

B is the area of the base of the pyramid

h is the height of the pyramid

Find the area of the base B

[tex]B=114^{2}=12,996\ ft^{2}[/tex]

we have

[tex]h=71\ ft[/tex]

substitute the values

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}(12,996)(71)=307,572\ ft^{3}[/tex]
