Question

A box of candy is shaped like a triangular pyramid. the volume of the candy box measures 85 in.³. The area of the base of the candy box is 25 in.². What is the height of the candy box.

Answer 1

The height is 10.2 inches

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the triangular pyramid is given by the formula

`V=(1)/(3)Bh`

where

B is the area of the base

h is the height of the pyramid

we have

`V=85\ in^3`

`B=25\ in^2`

substitute

`85=(1)/(3)(25)h`

solve for h

`h=85(3)/25=10.2\ in`
