Explanation
This is a problem concerned with the relationship between density, mass, and volume in Physics. The problem states that the density is
and that each pyramid has a base of
with a height of
. The étage is essentially figuring out the volume, then the mass of one pyramid and multiply by the number of total pyramids. The volume of a pyramid is calculated as Area of base * Height/3. The Total volume can be plugged in via densitymas the mass relationship.. i.e. density = Mass/Volume => Mass = Volume
Density
