Question

Exercise 1:6) Using the same given formula in number 5, (V = 13Bh), if the base of a pyramid is a rectangle that is 15 cm long and 9 cm wide, what is the area of its base?

Answer 1

Answer:

$135\text{ cm}^2$

Explanation:

Here, given the dimensions of the base of the rectangle, we want to find the area of the base

Mathematically:

$A\text{ = l }\times w$

where A is the area of the base, l is the length of the base and w is the width of the base

From the question, we have the area calculated as:

$\begin{gathered} A\text{ = 15 cm }\times\text{ 9 cm} \\ A\text{ = 135 cm}^2 \end{gathered}$
