Question

The formula for the volume of a tetrahedron is given as v=sh. Rewrite the

equation so that the height is a function of the area of base and the volume (solve for
the height), then find the height when the area of base is 8 and the volume is 48.

Answer 1

h = 6 units

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a tetrahedron is given as :

V = sh

Where

s is area of base and h is height

Put s = 8 and V = 48 to find h as follows :

`h=(V)/(s)\\\\=(48)/(8)\\\\h=6`

So, the height of the tetrahedron is 6 units.
