Answer:
- Substitute the values for V and h into the formula, and then solve for
- The area of the base of the pyramid is 24 and StartFraction 3 over 8 EndFraction in.2
Explanation:
Given the volume of the pyramid = 1/3 Bh
B is the area of the base
h is height
Given Volume = 48 3/4in³
Height = 6in
Step 1:
Substituting the value of Volume and height into the equation to get the Base area B we have;
48 3/4 = 1/3 × B × 6
2B = 195/4
B = 195/8
B = 24 3/8 in²
The base area of the pyramid is
24 3/8 in²
