Question

A square pyramid that is 20 meters tall is cleanly sliced through by a laser, 1.5 meters above its base (this leaves a shape similar to a prism). If its base has an area of 6 square meters, which is the BEST estimate of the volume of the remnant, which is 1.5 meters tall?

Answer 1

9 m3

Explanation:

Answer 2

I believe your answer is 9. The formula for volume is: V=bh (or V=lwh). We already have the base so we multiply that by the height, which is 1.5. Plug the numbers in to get: 6 x 1.5 = 9.
I believe the best estimate of the volume of the remnant is 9 meters³.
