Question

Please help?? I'm lost on this Geometry question.

Answer 1

an acre being 4840 yds, half that will be 2420 yds
so the \(\bf \text{base}\) is half an acre, or 2420 yds

now the gallery is 6 stories, 1 story is 10 ft, 3 feet is 1 yd
so the gallery is really 60 feet \(\bf \text{tall}\) or 60/3 = 20 yds

the volume of a pyramid is
\(\bf \cfrac{1}{3} \times base \times height\)
