Question

The base of a pyramid is a rectangle with a width of 6cm and a length of 8cm. Find in centimeters the height of the pyramid if the volume is 288cm

Answer 1

The height of the pyramid is 18cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid can be calculated using the formula V = 1/3 * base area * height.

Since the base of the pyramid is a rectangle with a width of 6cm and a length of 8cm, the base area is 6cm * 8cm = 48cm².

Substituting the given volume (288cm³) and the base area into the formula, we get 288cm³ = 1/3 * 48cm² * height.

Solving for height, we divide both sides of the equation by 1/3 * 48cm²: height = 288cm³ / (1/3 * 48cm²) = 18cm.

Answer 2

The height would be 6cm because you had to times 6 by 8 and then divide the answer by 288 and you get 6 your answer.


Hope this helps.
