Question

A pyramid has a rectangular base with dimensions of 6 meters by 4 meters. The height of the rectangular pyramid is 2 meters. Sand fills half the volume of the rectangular pyramid. How many more cubic meters of sand is needed to finish filling the pyramid? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

24×2=48

48÷2=24

Answer 2

24 cubic meters

Explanation:

So to find the volume of a piramid you need to do the area of the base×height

24×2=48

Then you divide the volume by 2 because only half is filled up

48÷2=24

If the half is 24, to fill the whole thing, you have to add the other half and the other half is 24meters
