Question

Calculate the volume for a square base pyramid whose base length is 30ft and height is 48ft.

A) 2,160 cubic feet
B) 3,240 cubic feet
C) 4,320 cubic feet
D) 5,400 cubic feet
E) None of the above.

Answer 1

The volume of the square base pyramid is 14,400 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume of a square base pyramid, you can use the formula V = (1/3)Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height. In this case, the base length is 30ft, so the area of the base is 30^2 = 900ft^2. The height is 48ft. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
V = (1/3)(900ft^2)(48ft) = 14,400ft^3
