"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 po
The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula V = 1/3 * base area * height.
First, calculate the base area of the pyramid:
Base area = length * width = 12 in. * 20 in. = 240 in^2
Now, substitute the values into the formula to find the volume:
V = 1/3 * 240 in^2 * 31 in.
V = 1/3 * 7440 in^3
V = 2480 in^3
Therefore, the volume of the "Caution Wet Floor” warning sign is 2480 cubic inches.
