Question

The base of a triangular pyramid is 21 inches squared. The volume is 63 inches cubed. What is the height of the pyramid?

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

So the formula for a triangular pyramid is v=1/3bh

you plug in the values and you get 63=1/3(21)(h) and since you are finding the height, you get h=63*3/21

and then you check answers with

63=1/3(21)(9) which is true so the height is 9
