Question

A square pyramid has a base edge of 15 in. If the height of the volume is 12 in find the volume of the pyramid

Answer 1

Volume of the square pyramid is given as,

`V=(1)/(3)Bh`

where,

`\begin{gathered} B=\text{ area of the base.} \\ B=a^2 \\ B=15^2 \\ B=225in^2 \end{gathered}`

So, the volume is,

`\begin{gathered} V=(1)/(3)*225*12 \\ V=225*4 \\ V=900in^3\text{ } \end{gathered}`
