Question

Find the volume of a regular square pyramid with base edge 10 ft. and height 12 ft.

120 ft
75ft?
400 ft
D 300 ft?

Answer 1

V = 400 ft^3

Explanation:

The area of the base of this regular square pyramid is (10 ft)^2, or 100 ft^2.

Recalling that the area of a pyramid is V = (1/3)(base area)(height), in this case we get V = (1/3)(100 ft^2)(12 ft) = 400 ft^3
