Question

Gavin purchased a stereo speaker in the shape of a triangular pyramid. It has a height of 6 inches. The volume of the speaker is 22 in3.

What is the area of the base of the speaker?


A. 5 in

B. 11 in

C. 66 in

D. 44 in

Answer 1

Answer: 11 in

Step-by-step explanation: To find the surface area of a triangular pyramid, the formula is B = 3v/h, where v is volume and h is height. Plugging this in, 3 * 22 = 66. 66 divided by 6 is 11. Thus, the area of the base is 11 inches.
