Question

What’s the volume of the pyramid

Answer 1

The volume of the given pyramid is 300 cm³

Explanation:

The volume of a pyramid,
`V_(pyramid)`, is given as follows;

`V_(pyramid) = (1)/(3) * Base \ area * Height`

The height of the pyramid = 12 cm

The side length of the square base of the pyramid = 5 cm

The base area of the pyramid polyhedron with square base = 5 cm × 5 cm = 25 cm²

Therefore, by substitution, we have;

`V_(pyramid) = (1)/(3) * 25 \ cm^2 * 12 \ cm = 300 \ cm^3`

The volume of the given pyramid, V = 300 cm³.
