Question

Answer 1

Answer: The volume of the pyramid is 99.8 cubic feet.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formulas:

Base area = side length^2 = 5.8^2 = 33.64 ft2

And then:

Volume of a pyramid = 1/3 x base area x height

Replacing with the values given:

V = 1/3 x 33.64 x8.9 =99.8 ft3

The volume of the pyramid is 99.8 cubic feet.
