What is the volume of a rectangular pyramid with a length of 32 cm a width of 25 cm and an altitude of 41 cm
To find the volume of a rectangular pyramid, you can use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * Base Area * Height
In this case, the base of the pyramid is a rectangle with dimensions 32 cm (length) and 25 cm (width). Therefore, the base area can be calculated as:
Base Area = Length * Width
Base Area = 32 cm * 25 cm
Base Area = 800 cm²
Now, substitute the values of the base area and height into the volume formula:
Volume = (1/3) * Base Area * Height
Volume = (1/3) * 800 cm² * 41 cm
Volume = (1/3) * 32,800 cm³
Volume ≈ 10,933.33 cm³
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is approximately 10,933.33 cm³.
