The cast

The cast in the body of a regular quadrilateral pyramid with a base edge 60 cm long and 5 cm high is made of a material with a density of 7.8 g/cm cubic. Calculate its weight.

Correct answer:

m =  46800 g

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=60\text{cm} \\ h=5\text{cm} \\ \rho =7.8{\text{g/cm}}^3 \\ S=a^2=60^2=3600{\text{cm}}^2 \\ V=S\cdot h/3=3600\cdot 5/3=6000{\text{cm}}^3 \\ m=\rho \cdot V=7.8\cdot 6000=46800\text{g} \end{gathered}$$
