Question

Find the volume of a square pyramid with a base area of 18 in.² and a height of 6 in

Answer 1

36 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation

The volume of a square pyramid is calculated using the formula:

`V = (1)/(3) {l}^(2) * h`

where l² is the area of the base and h= 6 inches is the height of the square pyramid.

We substitute the values into the formula to get,

`V = (1)/(3) * 18 * 6 \: {in}^(3)`

We simplify to get:

`V = 6 * 6 =3 6 {in}^(3)`

Therefore the volume of the square pyramid is 36 cubic inches.
