The One World Trade Center in New York that has a base of 200 feet x 200 feet that’s goes up 185 feet before the building tapers 45 degrees into 8 tall isosceles triangles for the remaining 1183 feet until the roof which has a base of 150 feet X 150 feet.
Which one of these calculations is more accurate?
200 feet x 200 feet x 185 feet =
7,400,000 sq feet
Answer A
175 feet x 175 feet x 1183 feet
= 36,229,375 sq feet + 7,400,000 sq feet
= 43,629,375 sq feet
Answer B
Roof 150 feet x 150 feet x 1183 feet
= 26,617,500 sq feet sq
200 feet x 200 feet x 1183 feet
= 47,320,000 sq feet sq feet
26,617,500 sq feet + 47,320,000 sq feet = 73,937,500 x 0.50
= 36,968,750 sq feet + 7,400,000 sq feet
= 44,368,750 sq feet
What is the more accurate answer for finding the volume of the building? 43,629,375 sq feet or 44,368,750 sq feet
