Question

Which statements are true about a rectangular pyramid with a height of 9 centimeters and a base with the dimensions of 4

centimeters by 6 centimeters? Select two options.
The area of the base of the pyramid, B, is 8 cm.
The area of the base of the pyramid, B, is 24 cm.
A rectangular prism with the dimensions of 9 cm by 4 cm by 6cm will have 3 times volume of this pyramid.
A rectangular prism with the dimensions of 9 cm by 4 cm by 6 cm will have 3 of the volume of this pyramid.
The volume of this pyramid is 216 cm

Answer 1

options 2 and 5

Explanation:

Here, we are to select two options which are correct about the rectangular pyramid.

The area of the base of the pyramid is 24 cm^2 is correct

This is because, mathematically, since we have a rectangular base, the area of the base = length of the base * width of the base = 4 cm * 6 cm = 24 cm^2

The volume of the pyramid is 216 cm^3 is correct

To calculate the volume of the pyramid, what we do is to multiply the area of the base of the pyramid by the height of the pyramid = 24 * 9 = 216 cm^3
