Question

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the area of the base is 19.6\text{ cm}^219.6 cm 2 and the height of the pyramid is 12.7\text{ cm}12.7 cm. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter.

Answer 1

Answer:

V = 83.0 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the squared pyramid you use the following formula:

$V=\frac{1}{3}Bh$   ( 1 )

B: base of the pyramid = 19.6 cm^2

h: height of the pyramid = 12.7 cm

you replace the values of B and h in the equation ( 1 ):

$V=\frac{1}{3}Bh=\frac{1}{3}(19.6cm^2)(12.7cm)\\\\V=82.97cm^3\approx 83.0cm^3$

hence, the volume of the pyramid is 83.0 cm^3
