Question

Find the volume of the square pyramid. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

363.6

Explanation:

Given in the question,

side of square = 10

Step 1

To find the slant height pyramid we will use pythagorus theorem

13² = 5² + height²

height = √13² - 5²

= 12

Now find the height of the pyramid

12² = 5² + height²

height = 10.91

Step 2

Base area of the pyramid

area = l²

= 10²

= 100

Step 3

Volume = 1/3(height)(basearea)

= 1/3(10.91)(100)

= 363.6
