Answer:
5in³
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is in complete. Here is the complete question.
"The dimensions of a triangular pyramid are shown below. The height of
the pyramid is 6 inches. What is the volume in cubic inches?
Base of triangle = 1in
height of triangle = 5in"
Given the dimension of the triangular base of base 1 inch and height 5inches with the height of the pyramid to be 6inches, the volume of the triangular pyramid is expressed as [tex]V = \frac{1}{3}BH[/tex] where;\
B = Base area
H = Height of the pyramid
Base area B = area of the triangular base = [tex]\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]
b = base of the triangle
h = height of the triangle
B = [tex]\frac{1}{2} * 5 * 1\\[/tex]
[tex]B = 2.5in^{2}[/tex]
Since H = 6inches
Volume of the triangular pyramid = [tex]\frac{1}{3} * 2.5 * 6\\[/tex]
[tex]V = 2.5*2\\V =5in^{3}[/tex]
