Question

A pyramid has a base area of 44cm and a height of 12. 6 cm what is the volume of the pyramid ?

Answer 1

Pyramids have been a symbol of great architecture inventions of the mankind. Egyptian People were the first once to design pyramids on a very large level.

Let a be the Side of Area of base of Pyramid . The base of a pyramid is a square shaped quadrilateral

The Volume of the Pyramid with base area and height is given by the equation (1)

`Volume = (1/3)Ah....(1)`

`A = a^(2)`

`a = Side`

A =
`a^(2)` =
`44cm^(2)`

`h = 12.6`

Putting these values in equation (1) we get

`Volume = (1/3)X44X12.6`

`Volume`
`= 184.8cm^(3)`

Hence , the volume of the pyramid is 184.8cm³
