Question

A pyramid has a square base with side s. The height of the pyramid is that of its side. What is the expression for the volume of the pyramid?

V = 2s2

Answer 1

V=area of base.height.1/3
V=s.s.h.1/3

Answer 2

Volume of pyramid is
`(1)/(3)s^3`

Explanation:

Given: Length of side of the Base square = s

Height of the pyramid = s

To find Volume of Pyramid.

We know that Volume of pyramid is ,

`Volume=(1)/(3)* Base\:Area* Height`

Area of Base = Area of the Square

= side × side

= s × s

= s² unit²

So,
`Volume=(1)/(3)* s^2* s=(1)/(3)s^3`

Therefore, Volume of pyramid is
`(1)/(3)s^3`
