NO LINKS OR ELSE YOU'LL BE REPORTED! Only answer if you're very good at Math.

The formula for the volume of a pyramid is V= 1/3Bh,where B is the area of the base of the pyramid and h is the height of the pyramid.What is the volume of this pyramid in cubic inches?

Type your answer in the box.

________ cubic inches.​

Answer 1

V = 16
`in^(3)`

Step-by-step explanation:

B = 6in.

h = 8in.

V =
`(1)/(3)`Bh (fill in the variables)

V =
`(1)/(3)`(6)(8) (Do parentheses first)

V =
`(1)/(3)`(48) (Combine)

V = 16 (Vuala!)

I hope this helped :)

Answer 2

Answer: 40 cubic inches

=============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

This pyramid is strangely drawn, but 3D objects are hard to convey on a 2D surface sometimes. The shaded triangle represents the floor of the pyramid. This triangle has a base of 5 inches and height 6 inches.

area = base*height/2 = 5*6/2 = 30/2 = 15

The floor area is 15 square inches.

This is the value of the uppercase B in the formula V = (1/3)*B*h

The h is the height of the pyramid which is the 8 inch segment (not to be confused with the 6 inch segment)

So,

V = (1/3)*B*h

V = (1/3)*15*8

V = 5*8

V = 40 cubic inches
