We want to find the volume of the Transamerica Pyramid. We know that it is a rectangular pyramid. The base's length is 175 feet long and 120 feet wide. The pyramid's height is 853 feet. We can calculate the volume of a pyramid using the following formula.
V=1/3Bh
Here, B is the area of the base, and h is the height. The base of our pyramid is a 175 feet by 120 feet rectangle. Its area B is a product of these sides, 175 ( 120) = 21 000 square feet.
The height h is 856 feet. Let's substitute these values into the formula and calculate V.
