The area of the base is __________
The volume is _________

Answer 1

The area of the base is 52,900 m²

The volume is 2,645,000 m³

Explanation:

Answer 2

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The square base has a base length of a = 230 m.
The area of the base is
A = a*a = 230*230 = 52,900 m²

The height is h = 150 m.
The volume is
V = (1/3)*A*h
= (1/3)*52900*150
= 2,645,000 m³

Answer:
The area of the base is 52,900 m²
The volume is 2,645,000 m³
