Answer 1

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is

11 in and the height of the pyramid is 15.1 in. Round your answer to the nearest

tenth of a cubic inch.

Remmeber that

the volume of a pyramid is equal to

`V=(1)/(3)\cdot B\cdot h`

where

B is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid

step 1

Find the value of B

B=11^2

B=121 in2

h=15.1 in

substitute the given values in the formula

`V=(1)/(3)\cdot121\cdot15.1`

V=609.0 in3
