Question

What is the volume of the pyramid?

A solid right pyramid has a square base. The length of the
base edge is 4 cm and the height of the pyramid is 3 cm.

Answer 1

Answer: 16 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation: The volume of a pyramid is equal to one-third the product of the area of the base and the height:

`V=(1)/(3)A*h`

In this case, the base is a square, so its area is:

A=L^2 where "L" is the lenght of the base edge

So the volume would be:

`V=(1)/(3)L^(2) *h`

`V=(1)/(3)4^(2) *3`

V=16*3/3

`V=16cm^(2)`
