A square pyramid with the maximum volume that can fit inside a cube has a same base as a cube ( 24 cm x 24 cm ) . The height of the pyramid is also same as a side length of a cube ( h = 24 cm ).
The volume of the pyramid:
V = 1/3 · 24² · 24 = 1/3 · 576 · 24 = 4,608 cm³
Answer:
The maximum volume of the pyramid is 4,608 cm³.
