Example of Assignment #2

Here is a famous pyramid that is located in Louvre Palace in Paris, France.
The height is 27.8 m and base is 35m.

The area of the base is (35)(35) = 1225m

The volume formula is (1/3)(area of the base)(height)

V = (1/3)(1225)(27.8)
V = 11,351.67m

Facts:
1. The large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum.
2. It was completed in 1989.
3. The pyramid and the underground lobby beneath it were created because of a series of problems with the Louvre's original main entrance, which could no longer handle the enormous number of visitors on an everyday basis.
