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?
To find the volume of a pyramid, we use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * (base area) * height
In this case, the base of the pyramid is a rectangle, so the base area is given by:
Base area = length * width = 24 feet * 15 feet = 360 square feet
Plugging this into the formula, we get:
Volume = (1/3) * 360 square feet * 20 feet = 2400 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 2400 cubic feet.
