Question

What is the volume of this figure? Show your calculations.

Answer 1

The volume of the figure given is
`4000` cubic units

Explanation:

The given figure is in the shape of a Right Square Pyramid.

The volume of a right square pyramid can be calculate by:

Volume of a right square pyramid =

`a^3(h)/(3)`

where 'a' is the length of the base of the pyramid which is equal for all the four side of the base and 'h' is the height of the pyramid which is perpendicular to the base of it.

Given:
`a=10` units

`h=12` units

Putting the values in the volume of the right square pyramid.

`=10^3(12)/(3)\\\\ =10^3*4\\\\=4000`

The volume of the figure given is
`4000` cubic units
