Question

A pyramid with a square base that is 9 cm on a side has a height of 10 cm. The volume of the pyramid is ______ cm3.a0

Answer 1

270 cm³

Explanation:

The general formula for the volume of a pyramid is:

V =
`(1)/(3)`Bh, where 'B' is the area of the base and 'h' is the overall height of the pyramid. Since the base of the given pyramid is a square, you can find the area by squaring the length of one side:

A = s² or A = 9² = 81 cm²

Next, plug in the values for area and height to find Volume:

V =
`(1)/(3)`(81)(10) = 270 cm³
