Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the amount of ice needed for this sculpture, we would apply the formula for determining the volume of a rectangular base pyramid which is expressed as
Volume = 1/3 × base area × height
Since the base is rectangular, base area = length × width = 3 × 5 = 15 m
Given that height = 3.6m, therefore, the amount of ice needed for this sculpture is
1/3 × 15 × 3.6 = 18 m³
