Question

The dimensions of a

Blue
rectangular pyramid are shown in
the diagram. What is the volume
of the pyramid in cubic meters?

Answer 1

8 cubic meters

Explanation:

Formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid:

`V=(lwh)/(3)`

Take note

`l=` base length

`w=` base width

`h=` pyramid height

We are given
`l`,
`w`, and
`h`.

Lets solve for
`V`

`l=3`

`w=2`

`h=4`

Now plug in our numbers into the formula:

`V=(3*2*4)/(3)`

Evaluate the numerator

`3*2*4=24`

Then we have

`V=(24)/(3)`

Simplify and we get:

`V=8`
