Answer:

h = 21.6 m

Explanation:

*I'm assuming that you need the height. If not, let me know and I'll edit my answer...

The formula for volume of a pyramid is

V = (1/3)Bh where B is the area of the base, and h is the height

We are given V = 8820, and the base is a square with area of 35² = 1225, plug those in and find the height...

8820 = (1/3)(1225)h

26460 = 1225h (multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction)

26460/1225 = h (divide both sides by 1225 to isolate h)

21.6 = h
