Question

Use the image to answer the question what is the volume of the rectangular pyramid we have upfront on the base 12 mm on the right side on the base is 12 m on the right side in the middle is 11.66 m on the left side in the middle is another 10 m and the answers we have to choose from is 144 m with a small tree on top 480 m with a small three on top One thousand 440 m with a small tree on top and last is 559.68 m with a small three on top

To calculate the volume of the rectangular pyramid, we use the formula:

V = 1/3 * base area * height

The base area of the pyramid is calculated as the product of the two sides of the base: 12 m * 12 m = 144 m^2

The height of the pyramid can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, since we have a right angled triangle with sides 10 m, 11.66 m and the height.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

height^2 = (11.66 m)^2 - (10 m)^2
height = √(11.66^2 - 10^2)
height = √(136.1956 - 100)
height = √36.1956
height ≈ 6.02 m

Now we substitute these values into the volume formula:

V = 1/3 * 144 m^2 * 6.02 m
V ≈ 288 m^3

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is approximately 288 cubic meters. However, none of the answer options provided match this calculation.
