Leon was wondering one day what the volume of the Eiffel Tower would be if the sides were solid. The base is a square with sides measuring 125 m long on each side, and the altitude of the square pyramid is 324 m. What would the volume be in cubic meters?(1 point)
___m^3
To find the volume of the Eiffel Tower, we need to find the volume of the square pyramid.
The formula for the volume of a pyramid is:
V = (1/3) * base_area * height
First, let's find the base_area of the pyramid. The base is a square with sides measuring 125 m long on each side, so the base_area is:
base_area = side_length^2 = 125^2 = 15625 m^2
Now, let's plug in the values into the volume formula:
V = (1/3) * 15625 * 324
V = 5208333.333 m^3
Therefore, the volume of the Eiffel Tower would be approximately 5208333.333 cubic meters.
The answer is 1687500
Apologies for the previous incorrect calculation.
