Volume+=+%281%2F3%29%28base_+area%29%28height%29
given:
the length of a side of the base of the pyramid is 35.42m
since the base is a square, the base area is 35.42m%2A35.42m=1254.5764m%5E2
a height of 21.64m
then Volume+=+%281%2F3%29%28base_+area%29%28height%29 will be:
Volume+=+%281%2F3%29%281254.5764m%5E2%29%2821.64m%29
Volume+=+%281%2F3%2927149.033296m%5E3
Volume+=+9049.677765333333m%5E3
Volume+=+9049.68m%5E3
so, the answer is C.9049.68m%5E3
