A "Caution Wet Floor” warning sign is in the shape of a rectangular pyramid. It is 31 in. tall and has a base whose dimensions are 12 in. by 20 in. What is the volume of the sign?(1 point) in.3
The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula V = 1/3 * base area * height.
First, we need to calculate the base area of the pyramid:
base area = length * width
base area = 12 in. * 20 in.
base area = 240 in^2
Now we can calculate the volume of the pyramid:
V = 1/3 * base area * height
V = 1/3 * 240 in^2 * 31 in.
V = 1/3 * 7440 in^3
V = 2480 in^3
Therefore, the volume of the "Caution Wet Floor” warning sign is 2480 in^3.
