Answer to Question #230334 in General Chemistry for cha

Question

 A pyramid has a height of 500 ft, and its base covers an area of 15.0 acres (referring to the right figure). The volume of a pyramid is given by the expression 𝑉 = 1/3 𝐵ℎ, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.

(a) Find the volume of this pyramid in cubic meters. (1 acre = 43,560 ft² also use 1 ft = 3.33 m).

(b) Find the volume of the pyramid in terms of cubic centimeter (use 100 cm = 1 m, express in scientific notation and Greek prefix if necessary).

(c) Express the volume in terms of liters L. (Use 1 L = 0.001 m³). 

Answer 1

a) Volume of this pyramid=$3.081×10^6m^3$

b) Volume of this pyramid=$3.081 ×10 ^{18}cm^3$

c) Volume in terms of liters L=$3,081Litres$
