Question

What is the volume of a square pyramid that is 15 cm tall and has a base area of 16 square centimeters?

Answer 1

The volume of the square pyramid is
`80\ cm^(3)`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a pyramid is equal to

`V=(1)/(3)Bh`

where

B is the area of the base of pyramid

h is the height of the pyramid

in this problem we have

`B=16\ cm^(2)`

`h=15\ cm^(2)`

substitute the values

`V=(1)/(3)(16)(15)=80\ cm^(3)`
