Solve the problem. What is the volume of a rectangular pyramid with a base of 200 square meters and a height of 75 meters? Show your work.(2 points) can you make this sound like a 7th grader if possible?
To find the volume of a rectangular pyramid, you use the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.
First, find the base area. Since the base is a rectangle, you multiply the length and width together. If the base is 200 square meters, you need to find the length and width. Let's say the length is 10 meters and the width is 20 meters. So, 10 * 20 = 200.
Now, plug the base area (200) and the height (75) into the formula. V = (1/3) * 200 * 75. Multiply 200 and 75 together, then divide by 3.
So, V = (1/3) * 200 * 75 = (1/3) * 15000 = 5000.
The volume of the rectangular pyramid is 5000 cubic meters.
