One of the skylights on the roof of Bianca’s building is in the shape of the solid below. A rectangular pyramid has a base of 14 inches by 14 inches and a height of 9 inches. A rectangular prism has a length of 14 inches, width of 14 inches, and height of 2 inches.

What is the total volume of air inside the skylight?
392 inches cubed
588 inches cubed
870 inches cubed
980 inches cubed

B. 588 inches cubed.

Step-by-step explanation:

the pyramid base with 2inch height = 392 - 14 x 14 = 196 = 392-196 = 196

the pyramid with 9 inch height = 588.25 = 14 x 14 = 196 the adjoined upper base.

= 588.25 - 196 = 392.25 + 196 = 588^3  (inches cubed ) we only needed one base structure

We check the slant = (1/2)base = 7 then divide 392.25/7 = 56.0357142857/4

Then divide by 4 = 56.0357142857/4 = 14 and we know the slant is also 14.

We can find the isosceles central height and know it will be the smaller measure as it always is, using 14^2 - 7^2 = a^2

= 196sr - 49sr = 47sr

a^2 = √47 = 6.8556546004

So we know the diagram isn't to scale.

The equation of a rectangle pyramid =

A=lw+√l (w2)

2+√ 2+w

(l2)2+√ h2

The base is l*w*h - l*l = 392-196

or l*w + 4* h*w =196

2.56 is the width of the garden
