Question

the formula for the volume of a square pyramid is v = b2h divided 3, where b is the height of the pyramid. find the length of a side of the base of a square pyramid that has a height of 3 inches and a volume of 25 cubic inches

Answer 1

84.5 m3

Explanation:

Answer 2

`b=5\ in`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a square pyramid is equal to

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

where

b is the length side of the square base

h is the height of the pyramid

we have

`V=25\ in^(3)`

`h=3\ in`

substitute in the formula and solve for b

`25=(1)/(3)b^(2) (3)`

Simplify

`25=b^(2)`

square root both sides

`5=b`

Rewrite

`b=5\ in`
