Answer 1

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is

19.3 ft and the height of the pyramid is 16.2 ft. Round your answer to the nearest

tenth of a cubic foo

Remember that

the volume of the pyramid is equal to

`V=(1)/(3)\cdot B\cdot h`

where

B is the area of the base

h is the height

step 1

Find out the area of the base

B=19.3^2

B=372.49 ft2

h=16.2 ft

substitute the given values in the formula

`V=(1)/(3)\cdot372.49\cdot16.2`

V=2,011.4 ft3
