Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula V = (1/3)Bh, where B is the base area and h is the height. In this case, the base area is 7 ft x 11 ft = 77 ft^2, and the height is 5 ft. Therefore, the volume of the tent is V = (1/3)(77 ft^2)(5 ft) = 128.33 ft^3, which rounds up to 105 ft^3 as the best answer choice.
