Question

The VOLUME of the pyramid is 700 cm 3. What is thevalue of the HEIGHT?

Answer 1

It is given that the volume of the pyramid is 700 cubic centimeters.

The Formula for the volume of square pyramid is given by:

$V=\frac{1}{3}a^2h$

Where a is the side of base and h is the height

Here V=700 and a=10 so it follows:

$\begin{gathered} 700=\frac{1}{3}\times10^2\times h \\ h=\frac{2100}{100} \\ h=21 \end{gathered}$

Hence the height of the pyramid is 21 centimeters.
