Question

What is the volume air enclosed in a pyramid-shape tent whose square base measures 8 dm by 8 dm and whose height is 6dm?

Answer 1

We have to calculate the volume of the pyramid with the following dimensions:

We can express and calculate the volume as:

`\begin{gathered} V=(1)/(3)A_bh \\ V=(1)/(3)(8\cdot8)\cdot6 \\ V=(64*6)/(3) \\ V=128\text{ }dm^3 \end{gathered}`

Answer: the volume is 128 dm³
