(a) A pyramid has a height of 470 ft and its base covers an area of 14.0 acres (see figure below). The volume of a pyramid is given by the expression V =Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height. Find the volume of this pyramid in cubic meters. (1 acre = 43,560 ft2) m3 (b) What If? If the height of the pyramid were increased to 510 ft and the height to base area ratio of the pyramid were kept constant, by what percentage would the volume of the pyramid increase?
