Question

A pyramid has a base that is a regular hexagon with an apothem measuring The base of thepyramid is shown below.Side Length = 2010V3 inIf the pyramid has a height of 17 units, what is the approximate volume of the pyramid? Round tothe tenth

Answer 1

We will have that the volume will be:

`V=\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}a^2h`

That is:

`V=\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}(20)^2(17)\Rightarrow V=5888.972746\ldots`
`\Rightarrow V\approx5889`

So, the volume will be approximately 5889 cubic inches.
