Question

What is the volume of a square pyramid that is 60 m on each side of its base and has a height of 100 m round to the nearest 10th

Answer 1

Volume of square pyramid=120,000 m³

Explanation:

We are given: Base of square pyramid = 60 m

Height of square pyramid = 100 m

We need to find Volume of square pyramid.

The formula used is:
`Volume \ of \ square \ pyramid=(1)/(3)a^2h`

Where a is base and h is height of square pyramid

Putting values in formula and finding volume of square pyramid

`Volume \ of \ square \ pyramid=(1)/(3)a^2h\\Volume \ of \ square \ pyramid=(1)/(3)(60)^2(100)\\Volume \ of \ square \ pyramid=(1)/(3)(3600)(100)\\Volume \ of \ square \ pyramid=120,000\ m ^3`

So, Volume of square pyramid=120,000 m³
