Question

Find the volume of the pyramid. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary. hurry!!

Answer 1

Explanation:

All pyramids have a volume as one-third of a prism with the same base area and the same height.

This will make the formula for the volume
`(1)/(3)(base*height)`. We already know the height of the pyramid is 10, but the area of the base for this rectangle would be its length and its width. Let's calculate this:

`7*2.3=16.1\hspace{0.1cm}in^2`

Let's put these values back into the formula:

`V=(1)/(3)(16.1*10)\\ V=(1)/(3)(161)\\ V= 53.7\hspace{0.1cm}in^3`
