Question

In a classroom challenge student had to create a triangle pyramid using various items. Each group then used their measurements to determine the volume. which group found the volume of a triangle pyramid with a height of 18 inches?

Answer 1

We have that the formula to find the volume of a triangular pyramid is:

`V=(Bh)/(3)`

where B is the area of the base of the pyramid and h is the height of the pyramid. Now, notice the following:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Group 2:} \\ V=(1)/(3)((11\cdot4)/(2))\cdot18 \end{gathered}`

in group 2, the area of the base is represented with the expression (11*4)/2.\

Then, the height of the triangular pyramid is 18 inches. Therefore, group 2 found the requested volume
