Question

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is10 m and the height of the pyramid is 7.2 m. Round your answer to the nearesttenth of a cubic meter.

Answer 1

hello

to find the volume of the figure, we need to know the formula of a pyramid with a square base

once we know that, we can proceed to simply substitute the values into the equation

`\begin{gathered} \text{volume}=(1)/(3)* l^2* h \\ l=\text{side length} \\ h=\text{height} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} l=10m \\ h=7.2m \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{volume}=(1)/(3)*10^2*7.2 \\ \text{volume}=(100*7.2)/(3) \\ \text{volume}=240m^3 \end{gathered}`

the volume of the figure is 240m^3
