Question

What is the volume of the rectangular pyramid?

Answer 1

V = 320

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid is length x width x height divided by 3
`(v =(lwh)/(3))`

So

10 × 8 × 12 = 960

960 ÷ 3 = 320

Or

`(10*8*12)/(3) = 320`

Answer 2

`320 \: {in}^(3)`

Explanation:

Given:

A rectangular prism

h (height) = 12 in

l (base length) = 10 in

w (base width) = 8 in

Find: V (volume) - ?

First, we have to find the area of the base:

`a(base) = w * l = 10 * 8 = 80 \: {in}^(2)`

Now, we can find the volume:

`v = (1)/(3) * a(base) * h`

`v = (1)/(3) * 80 * 12 = 320 \: {in}^(3)`
