Question

A solid right pyramid has a square base with an edge length of s units and a height of h units. A solid right pyramid with a square base has an edge length of s units and a height of h units. Which expression represents the volume of the pyramid?

Answer 1

The required expression is
`V=(s^2h)/(3)` units³.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The Volume square base pyramid is:
`V=(a^2h)/(3)`

Where a is the edge length and h is the height of the pyramid.

It is given that length of the side is s units and height of the pyramid is h unit.

Substitute the respective values in the formula above

The Volume square base pyramid is:

`V=(s^2h)/(3)`

Hence the required expression is
`V=(s^2h)/(3)` units³.
