The volume formula for a pyramid is:

V = (1/3) * A * h

Where:
V = Volume of the pyramid
A = Area of the base
h = Height or altitude of the pyramid

Given that the base of the pyramid is 112 feet long on each side and the altitude is 71 feet, we can calculate the volume as follows:

First, we need to calculate the area of the base. Since the base is a square, the area can be calculated as:

A = side^2

A = 112^2

A = 12,544 square feet

Next, we substitute the values into the volume formula:

V = (1/3) * A * h

V = (1/3) * 12,544 * 71

V ≈ 282,432 cubic feet

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid at the Louvre Museum is approximately 282,432 cubic feet.
