Question

Find the volume of the square pyramid shown. Round to the nearest tenth if mecessary. 10 ft. Base 13ft.height. it's not 33.3 ft 3 got it wrong on exam

Answer 1

volume of a pyramid: 1/3 of the area of the base * the height
V=(1/3)*10²*13=433.33333333 or 433&1/3 cubic feet.

Answer 2

V = 433.33 ft³

Explanation:

We have to find the volume of the square pyramid with the base = 10 ft.

and height = 13 ft.

Volume of the square pyramid =
`V=(1)/(3)(a)^(2)h`

Where, a = Side of the square base

h = height of the pyramid

Now we put the values in the formula.

`V=(1)/(3)(10)^(2)(13)`

`V=(1300)/(3)`

V = 433.33 ft³

Volume of the square pyramid is 433.33 ft³
