Question

The formula for the volume, v, of a pyramid is v= 1/3 bh, where b is the area of the base of the pyramid and h is the pyramid’s height. The base of the pyramid shown has a length of 9m and a width of 8m. The height of the pyramid is 12m. What is the volume of the pyramid?

Answer 1

Answer: C. 288 m^3

Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: find out B, since we know the length and width for the base, we would need to multiply 9 and 8 to get 72m^2

V= 1/3(72m^2 *12)

Step 2: Simplify

V= 1/3*864m^3

V=288m^3
