Question

A pyramid shaped building is 873 ft tall with a square base that is 147 ft on each side. What is the volume of the​ pyramid?

Answer 1

`V=6.28* 10^6\ cm^3`

Explanation:

We have,

Height of pyramid shaped building, h = 873 ft

This pyramid consists of a square base that is 147 ft on each side.

It is required to find the volume of the​ pyramid. When the base of pyramid is square, its volume is given by :

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

B is area of base,
`B=147* 147=21609\ ft^2`

i.e.

`V=(1)/(3)* 21609* 873\\\\V=6288219\ ft^3`

or

`V=6.28* 10^6\ cm^3`

So, the volume of the pyramid is
`6.28* 10^6\ cm^3`.
