Question

A solid right pyramid has a regular hexagonal base with an area of 7.4 units2. The pyramid has a height of 6 units.

What is the volume of the pyramid?

Answer 1

V = 14.8 u³

Explanation:

The formula of a volume of a pyramid:

`V=(1)/(3)BH`

B - area of a base

H - height

We have B = 7.4, and H = 6.

Substitute:

`V=(1)/(3)(7.4)(6)=(44.4)/(3)=14.8\ u^3`

Answer 2

14.8 unit^3.

Explanation:

The volume = 1/3 * height * the area of the base

= 1/3 * 6 * 7.4

= 2 * 7.4

= 14.8 unit^3.
