Respuesta :

Answer:

981.496    ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of triangular pyramid is

 1/3  base area * height

area of a equilateral triangle base  is

 sqrt (3)/4  s^2     where s = side length

so the volume is

1/3  ( sqrt(3) / 4 ) (20^2)    *   17      ft^3

= 981.496  ft^3

Answer:

Area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height.

area of triangle = 1/2 x 20 x 17 = 170 square feet.

the image shows 4 triangles, total area = 170 x 4 = 680 square feet.

the answer is A. 680 sq. ft.
