Question

Suppose the height of the pyramid is 20 yards. What is the pyramid's volume?

Answer 1

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 1500 cubic yards.

Step-by-step explanation :

Formula used to calculate the volume of square pyramid is:

`V=(a^2* h)/(3)`

where,

V = volume of pyramid

a = base edge of pyramid

h = height of pyramid

Given:

Base edge of pyramid = 15 yards

Height of pyramid = 20 yards

Now putting all the given values in the above formula, we get:

`V=(a^2* h)/(3)`

`V=\frac{(15\text{ yrads})^2* (20\text{ yards})}{3}`

`V=1500\text{ yards}^3`

Therefore, the volume of pyramid is 1500 cubic yards.
