Question 1 options:


45 in3



30 in3



60 in3



90 in3

Answer 1

30 in^3, or (B)

Explanation:

The volume of a triangular pyramid is:
`(1)/(3) bh` , where b denotes the base area and h denotes the height.

In this case, b = 15 and h = 6. Plugging these values into the equation, we get:

`(1)/(3)*15*6 = 30`

Thus, the answer is 30 inches cubed.

Answer 2

90 in3

Explanation:

15x6 = 90

so 90in3

Hope this helps
