Question

The image shows a reconstruction of a pyramid with a square base. What is the best estimate for the volume of the pyramidThe volume of a pyramid equals a third times its base times its height

Vpyramid=13bh The base of a square pyramid is a square.
The area of a square is the side length of the square, squared.
b=s2 a. 1,460,040 m3

b. 2,433,400 m3

c.4,380,120 m3

d. 7,300,200 m3

Answer 1

Answer: B. 2,433,400 m3

Explanation:

This is the equation for pyramids V = (1/3)* a^2 * h

h = height

a = side length

plug in the numbers

(1/3)* 230^2 * 138 = 2,433,400

Answer 2

Area of a pyramid is 1/3 * Area of base * height.
From the given pyramid, Area of square base = s^2 = 230^2 = 52900 and the height is 138 meters.

Volume of pyramid = 1/3 * 52900 * 138 = 2,433,400 m^3
