Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a 3 D pyramid with a rectangular base. The length, width, and height measurements are labeled. The sides on the front that are visible are shown as solid lines and the sides at the back are shown as dashed lines. The base length is labeled 24 feet and the width is labeled 15 feet. The height is shown as a dotted perpendicular line from the top vertex to the base and is labeled 20 feet. The dotted line continues to the base length to make a right angle.
What is the volume of the pyramid in cubic feet?
(1 point)
ft.3
To calculate the volume of the pyramid, we can use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height
The base area of the pyramid can be calculated as the length multiplied by the width:
Base area = 24 feet * 15 feet = 360 square feet
Now, substituting the values into the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * 360 square feet * 20 feet = 2400 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 2400 cubic feet.
