Question

Find the volume of the pyramid to the nearest cubic unit. Use a calculator.

64 m^3
96 m^3
192 m^3
256 m^3

Answer 1

Answer: 64 m^3

Explanation:

V=1/3*a^2*h

V = 1/3*64*3

V=64 m^3

Answer 2

64 m³

Explanation:

Formula

`\textsf{Volume of a square based pyramid}=(1)/(3)a^2h`

where:

• a = side length
• h = perpendicular height

Given:

• a = 8 m
• h = 3 m

Substituting the given values into the formula:

`\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Volume}& =(1)/(3) \cdot 8^2 \cdot 3\\\\& = (3)/(3) \cdot 64\\\\& = 1 \cdot 64\\\\& = 64\:\sf m^3\end{aligned}`
