Question
A slice of cheese is cut from a wheel of parmesan, and the wedge approximates the shape of a rectangular pyramid. Its base is 4 cm wide and 9 cm long. The wedge is 21 cm tall. What is the volume of the piece of cheese?(1 point)
cm3
The volume of the piece of cheese can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid, which is V = (1/3) * length * width * height.
Plugging in the values:
V = (1/3) * 9 cm * 4 cm * 21 cm
V = (1/3) * 756 cm^3
V = 252 cm^3
Therefore, the volume of the piece of cheese is 252 cm^3.
