Question

The volume of a square pyramid is given by the formula, V = 13hx2, where h is the height of the pyramid and x is the length of one side of the base. If a pyramid has a height of 15 ft and a volume of 2,880 ft3, what is the length of one side of the base

Answer 1

Answer: 24ft

Explanation:

The exercise gives you the following formula:

Where "h" is the height of the square pyramid and "x" is the length of one side of the base.

According to the data given, you know that:

Therefore, you can subsitute these values into the formula:

Now, you need to solve for the "x" to calculate the length of one side of the square base of that pyramid.
