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)
wrong
To find the volume of the Eiffel Tower, we can use the formula for the volume of a square pyramid:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height.
The base of the pyramid is a square with sides measuring 125 meters.
So, the base area is (125 m)^2 = 15625 m^2.
The height of the pyramid is 324 meters.
Plugging in these values into the formula, we have:
Volume = (1/3) * 15625 m^2 * 324 m
= (1/3) * 5071875 m^3
= 1690625 m^3.
Therefore, the volume of the Eiffel Tower would be 1,690,625 cubic meters.
I apologize for the mistake. Let's try again.
To find the volume of a square pyramid, we can use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height.
The base of the pyramid is a square with sides measuring 125 meters.
So, the base area is (125 m)^2 = 15625 m^2.
The height of the pyramid is 324 meters.
Plugging in these values into the formula, we have:
Volume = (1/3) * 15625 m^2 * 324 m
= 169312500 m^3.
Therefore, the volume of the Eiffel Tower would be approximately 169,312,500 cubic meters.
