Question

What is the volume of a square pyramid with base side length of 22 cm and height of 8cm?

Answer 1

Answer is 1290.67. I rounded to the nearest tenth but it goes on.

Answer 2

Volume of a pyramid is

`(1)/(3 ) * (area \: \: of \: base) * height`

Since it's a square pyramid the base is a square

So we have

Area of a square = l²

where l is the length of one side

Area of square = 22²

= 484 cm²

So volume of the pyramid is

`= (1)/(3) * 484 * 8 = 1290.7 {cm}^(3)`

Hope this helps you
