Question

What is the volume of this square pyramid?

Enter your answer in the box.

___ m3

Answer 1

Volume is length times width times height

Answer 2

Volume of a square pyramid is 400 m³

Explanation:

Given : A square pyramid.

We have to find the volume of this square pyramid.

Consider the given square pyramid.

Since, Volume of a square pyramid =
`(1)/(3)\cdot\text{area of base}\cdot \text{height}`

Base of pyramid is a square

So Area of base = area of square =
`(side)^2`

Also, height = 12 m

Thus, Volume of a square pyramid =
`(1)/(3)\cdot(10)^2\cdot 12`

Simplify, we have,

Volume of a square pyramid = 400 m³
