Answer:

The volume of the square pyramid is 766.3 in³ approximately.

Explanation:

To find the volume of the square pyramid whose perimeter of the base is 44 in and a height of 19 in, we will follow the steps below:

Write down the formula for calculating volume of the square pyramid

v=A(h/3)

where v is the volume, A is the area of the base and h is the height.

From the question given, the perimeter of the base is 44.

If the perimeter of the base is 44, then we can say;

4l = 44

Dividing both-side by 4

l = 11

The length of the base = 11

Area of the base = l² =11² = 121 in²

Als from the question given, height is 19 in.

we can now proceed to plug in our values into the formula

v=A(h/3)

v = 121 (19/3)

v≈766.3 in³ to the nearest tenth.

Therefore, the volume of the square pyramid is 766.3 in³ approximately.
