Question

determine the volume of each rectangular or triangle pyramid round to the nearest tens of necessary

Answer 1

The volume of a square pyramid is given by the equation:

`V=(1)/(3)* B* H`

Where B is the area of the base and His the high of the pyramid, the area of the square base can be calculated with the formula:

`B=L* L=L^2`

Where L is the length of the sides of the square, let's calculate it for our figure, like this:

`B=8^2=64`

And now, let's calculate the volume of the pyramid with the first formula, like this:

`V=(1)/(3)*64*19=(1)/(3)*1216=(1216)/(3)=405,3`

Then, the volume of the pyramid is 405,3 cubic inches
