A triangular pyramid is 30 meters tall and has a base area of 500 square meters. What is the volume of the pyramid?

A) 7,500
B) 5,000
C) 15,000
D) 6,200

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

if it has a base area that means 500/4 = 125 so each side is 125 on the base.

The formula for the volume of a triangular pyramid is 1/3lwh.

if L=125 and w=125 and H= 30

we multiply 125·125·30=468750

and 468750/3=156250

so rounding that, our base would be C)15,000
