Find the volume of this square
based pyramid.
5ft
6 ft
[? ]ft

Answer:
48 ft³
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the height, you can use the slant height and the base.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem and 3 as the triangle's base,
a²+b²=c²
3²+b²=5²
9+b²=25
b²=16
b=4
The height of the pyramid is 4.
Volume formula for the pyramid is [tex]\frac{1}{3} *b*h[/tex]
Inserting our measurements:
[tex]\frac{1}{3} *6*6*4=\\2*6*4=\\12*4=\\48[/tex]
