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)
To find the volume of the Eiffel Tower, we need to find the volume of the pyramid that forms its shape. The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height
In this case, the base of the pyramid is a square with sides of 125 m, so the base area is:
Base area = 125 m * 125 m = 15625 m^2
The height of the pyramid is given as 324 m.
Now we can calculate the volume:
Volume = (1/3) * 15625 m^2 * 324 m
= 1/3 * 5071875 m^3
≈ 1690625 m^3
Therefore, the volume of the Eiffel Tower, if the sides were solid, would be approximately 1,690,625 cubic meters.
