I got 128 ft^3 I dont know if its right or not

anonymous · Answer

the equation for the area is 1/3(area of base)(height) so for this problem it would be:

1/3 (8*8)(6) = 1/3(64)(6) = 192 ft^3

Thats not one of the aswers to choose from.
They are 512ft^3
128ft^3
16ft^3
and 32ft^3

anonymous · Answer

the answer is 128ft^3. i accidentally divided the 6 by two instead of 3. you're right.
