The volume V of a pyramid varies jointly as the
area of the base B and the height h, and
V = 24 ft3 when B = 12 ft2 and h = 6 ft. Find B
when V = 54 ft3 and h = 9 ft.

Answer 1

18ft²

Explanation:

V volume pyramid = 1/3× base area × height

V = 1/3 × B × h

24 ft³ = 1/3(12ft²)(6ft)

when V =54 ft³ h= 9ft B =?

V=1/3Bh

B=V3/h

B=(54×3)/9

B=6×3

B=18 ft²
