Question

A pyramid has a square base that is 9 inches on a side.If the height of the pyramid is 8 inches, then its volume is 24 cubic inches.

Answer 1

The statement is false

The volume of the square pyramid is
`V=216\ in^(3)`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the square pyramid is equal to

`V=(1)/(3)b^(2)h`

we have

`b=9\ in`

`h=8\ in`

substitute

`V=(1)/(3)(9)^(2)(8)`

`V=216\ in^(3)`
