Question

The height of a pyramid is 15 inches. The pyramid's base is a square with a side of 5 inches. What is the pyramid's volume?

Answer 1

The pyramid's volume is
`125\ in^(3)`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the pyramid is equal to

`V=(1/3)Bh`

where

B is the area of base of pyramid

h is the height of the pyramid

Find the area of the base B

`B=5^(2)=25\ in^(2)` -----> is a square

`h=15\ in`

substitute the values

`V=(1/3)(25)(15)=125\ in^(3)`
