Question

Find the height of a square pyramid that has a volume of 8 cubic feet and a base length of 2 feet.

1) 6 feet
2) 16 feet
3) 12 feet
4) 4 feet​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Volume of square pyramid

= (Base length)² * (Height/3).

Therefore we have 8 = 2² * (h/3).

=> 8 = 4 * (h/3), h/3 = 2, h = 6.

Hence the height is 6 feet. (1)
