A tent is in the shape of a pyramid. The base is a rectangle with a length of 12 feet and a width of 10 feet. The height of the tent is 8 feet. Find the volume of the tent.

  1. V = 960 ft3    
  2. V = 320 ft3    
  3. V = 480 ft3    
  4. V = 560 ft3    

hintHint:

The volume of a pyramid is given by 1 third cross times b a s e space a r e a space x space h e i g h t

The correct answer is: V = 320 ft3


    Area of the base rectangle is 10 × 12
    = 120 feet2
    Volume of the pyramid equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator 3 end fraction cross times 120 cross times 8
    = 320 ft3
