Question

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the area of the base is

12.7 ft- and the height of the pyramid is 17.8 ft. Round your answer to the nearest

tenth of a cubic foot.

Answer 1

Answer: 75.4 ft^3 when rounded

Explanation:

Volume of Pyramid V=1/3BH

Area of base= 12.7

h=17.8

V=1/3 (12.7)(17.8)

V=75.353333

V=75.4 ft^3

Answer 2

Volume,
`V= 75.35\ \text{feet}^3`

Explanation:

We have,

Area of the base of of a pyramid with a square base is 12.7 ft

Height of the pyramid is 17.8 ft

It is required to find the volume of of a pyramid with a square base.

The formula used to find the volume of a pyramid with a square base is given by :

`V=(1)/(3)Ah`

Plugging all the values in above formula

`V=(1)/(3)* 12.7* 17.8\\\\V=75.35\ \text{feet}^3`

So, the volume of a pyramid is
`75.35\ \text{feet}^3`.
