Question

Find the height of a square pyramid that has a volume of 8 cubic feet and a base length of 2 feet. . . a. 6 feet. b. 16 feet. c. 12 feet. d. 4 feet

Answer 1

Volume = (1/3)*(base area)* height

(1/3)*(2 * 2) * h = 8

h = 8*3 / (2 * 2)

h = 6 feet.

a.

Answer 2

Volume a square pyramid is expressed as the one third of the product of the base area and the hight of the shape.

Volume = (1/3)*(base area)* height

Substituting the given values, we have:

(1/3)*(2 * 2) * h = 8

h = 8*3 / (2 * 2)

h = 6 ft

Therefore, the correct answer among the choices is option A.
