Question

Find the volume of a pyramid with a height of 3 inches and square base with side lengths of 4 inches

Answer 1

We have a square pyramid, the formula to find the volume is

`V=(1)/(3)a^2h`

a is the measure of the side of the base and h is the height

a=4in

h=3in

we substitute the values

`V=(1)/(3)(4)^2\cdot(3)=16in^3`

the volume is 16 cubic inches he volumen is 16 in
