has the same base area and volume as the square pyramid, what is its height?
O2 2 units
4 units
6 units
08 8 units

Answer 1

6 units

Explanation:

Volume of square pyramid is

1/3 * base area * height

For the first pyramid

70 = 1/3 * base * 6

base = 35

For the second pyramid

70 = 1/3 * 35 * h

h = 6
