Question

A solid right pyramid has a square base. The base edge length is 2cm longer than the height of the pyramid. If the height is 6cm the volume of the pyramid is what

Answer 1

128cm

Explanation:

Answer 2

Okay. So we know that the bar edge length is 8 cm (6+2) and the height is 6 cm....

And a pyramid's volume is 1/3 of a prism's volume.

If the base is square and both sides are 6 cm, the area is 36 cm^2. Then you multiply that area by the height: 288 cm^3.

BUT you have divide that by 3, because a pyramid's volume is 1/3 of a prism's volume: 288/3= 96 cm^3.

Answer: 96 cm^3
