Question
A "Caution Wet Floor” warning sign is in the shape of a rectangular pyramid. It is 31 in. tall and has a base whose dimensions are 12 in. by 20 in. What is the volume of the sign?(1 point)
in.3
The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.
First, calculate the base area:
Base area = length * width = 12 in * 20 in = 240 in^2
Now, plug in the values into the formula:
V = (1/3) * 240 in^2 * 31 in
V = (1/3) * 7440 in^3
V = 2480 in^3
Therefore, the volume of the sign is 2480 in^3.
