Question

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

base is 8.7 cm and the height of the pyramid is 13.1 cm. Round your answer
to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter.

Answer 1

Answer: V= 330.513 cm 3

Explanation:

Area = l x w and with a square the length and width are the same, additionally the volume of a pyramid can be found by using the formula (L)(w)(h)/3 so

8.7 x 8.7 = 75.69cm^2

75.69 x 13.1 = 991.539

991.539 ÷ 3 = 330.513 cm^3
