Question

Find the volume of the rectangular pyramid below.

Answer 1

Let's find the base area:

21 x 9 = 189

Now let's multiply the base area by the height:

189 x 5 = 945

Now let's divide by 3( x 1/3 ):

945 divided by 3(x 1/3) = 315 yd^3 is your answer

Explanation:

Formula area of a rectangular Pyramid(just like any other pyramid):

BH x 1/3

To find base we multiply length by width just using the basic formula of finding area of a rectangle.

Then we multiply our base area by our height.

One we've done that we now divide by 3(multiplying by 1/3)

Answer 2

315 yd cubed

Explanation:

To find the volume of the pyramid, we first need to consult the equation below. Thebase is for the rectangular portion, then after multiplied by the height it is divided by 3 to get the pyramid.

`(1)/(3) (B * H )`

To get the base, we multiply the length by the width.

21 * 9 = 189

189 * 5 = 945

945 divided by 3 = 315
