Question

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the area of the base is12.4 ft” and the height of the pyramid is 5 ft. Round your answer to the nearesttenth of a cubic foot.

Answer 1

Volume of the

The volume of a square base pyramid is given as:

V = A x (h/3)

Where A is the Area of the square base

and h is the height of the pyramid

Area of the base, A = 12.4 ft²

Height of the pyramid, h = 5 ft

The volume of the pyramid is then calculated as:

V = 12.4 x (5 / 3)

V = 12.4 x 1.67

V = 20.71 ft³.
