The pyramid has a base that is a right

triangle with side lengths 3 feet , 4 feef , 5 feet .it’s height is 6 feet. What is the volume of the pyramid?

Answer 1

36

OR

12

?

Explanation:

Area of Triangle:
`(3*4)/(2) = 6`

Volume: 6*6 = 36

Pyramid part confuses me.

volume of a pyramid:
`(1)/(3)*B*H` =
`(1)/(3)*6*6` = 12

B = triangle area

H = height
