Find the volume of a pyramid with a base which is a rectangle with a width of $4 \mathrm{~m}$ and a length of $5 \mathrm{~m}$ and with a height of $6 \mathrm{~m}$.
A) $40 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$
B) $60 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$
C) $120 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$
D) $240 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula $V = \frac{1}{3}Bh$, where $B$ is the area of the base and $h$ is the height. In this case, the base is a rectangle with a width of $4 \mathrm{~m}$ and a length of $5 \mathrm{~m}$, so the area of the base is $4 \mathrm{~m} \times 5 \mathrm{~m} = 20 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$. The height of the pyramid is $6 \mathrm{~m}$, so the volume of the pyramid is $V = \frac{1}{3} \times 20 \mathrm{~m}^{2} \times 6 \mathrm{~m} = 40 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$.
