Question

The volume of a rectangular pyramid is 220 units^3

3
. If the length of the rectangular base measures 6 units and the width of the rectangular base measures 10 units, find the height of the pyramid.

Answer 1

h = 11 units

Explanation:

Volume of a Rectangular Pyramid = lwh/3

220 = 6*10*h/3

(220) * (3) = ((6)*(10)*(h) / 3) * 3

660 = (6) (10) (h)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

660 = 60h

h = 11 units
