Question

Find the volume of this square pyramid, given that its height is 8 m.

A) 24 m3.

B) 72 m3.

C) 216 m3.

D) 648 m3.

Answer 1

A. 24 m3.

Explanation:

Answer 2

A)
`24\text{ m}^3`.

Explanation:

We have been given an image of a square pyramid and we are asked to find the volume of our given pyramid.

`\text{Volume of square pyramid}=(a^2*h)/(3)`, where,

a = Base length of square,

h = height of pyramid.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

`\text{Volume of square pyramid}=\frac{\text{(3 m)}^2*\text{ 8 m}}{3}`

`\text{Volume of square pyramid}=\frac{9\text{ m}^2*\text{ 8 m}}{3}`

`\text{Volume of square pyramid}=\frac{72\text{ m}^3}{3}`

`\text{Volume of square pyramid}=24\text{ m}^3`

Therefore, the volume of our given square pyramid is 24 cubic meters and option A is the correct choice.
