A liquid-filled glass pyramid is being erected as part of a museum attraction. The pyramid is designed to be 15 feet tall with a rectangular base that is 10 feet long and 6 feet wide. What is the total amount of liquid that the pyramid can hold?
First we calculate surface of base.
10 6 = 60 feet^2
The Volume of pyramid is calculated by formula:
V = BH/3
H- height of pyramid
B- surface of base of pyramid
We have both of those so all we have to do is to finish calculation:
V = 60*15/3 = 300 feet^3
Answer is 300 qubic feets
