A "caution wet floor" warning sign is in the shape of a rectangular pyramid
It's is 31 inches tall and has a base whose dimensions are 12 inches by 20 inches. What is the volume of the sign?
The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula:
V = (1/3) * base area * height
First, let's find the area of the rectangular base of the pyramid:
A = length * width
A = 12 inches * 20 inches
A = 240 square inches
Now, we can calculate the volume of the pyramid:
V = (1/3) * 240 square inches * 31 inches
V = (1/3) * 7440 cubic inches
V = 2480 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the "caution wet floor" warning sign is 2480 cubic inches.
