Correct Answer: 1,000 m 3
Solution : Given: The base of a pyramid is an equilateral triangle of side 10 m. The height of the pyramid is $40 \sqrt{3}$ m. Use the formulas, The volume of the pyramid = $\frac{1}{3}\times (\text{The area of the base})\times (\text{Height})$, The area of the equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times (\text{side})^2$ The area of the equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {10}^2=25\sqrt3$ m 2 The volume of the pyramid = $\frac{1}{3}\times 25\sqrt3 \times 40\sqrt3=1000$ m 3 Hence, the correct answer is 1,000 m 3 .
