Question

Find the volume of an 8 in. tall right triangular pyramid with a base hypotenuse of 5 in. and base leg of 3 in.
PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

1/6Bh where B is the area of the base

Answer 2

its very simple. all you do is you multiply 8 times 5 times 3 and your answer will be 120

Answer 3

That answer isn't right

Answer 4

well, it said the correct answer is 16in cubed, but i don't understand how.

Answer 5

Okay, to first you need the area of the base of the triangle. If the base of the triangle has a hypotenuse of 5 in and a leg of 3, you need to use the Pythagorean therom to find the length of the other leg of the base so 5^2=3^2+x^2, solve for x.

Then use 1/2b*h to find the area of base, divide that by 6 and multiply by the height of the actual pyrmid

Answer 7

oh well you 1/2 the width and multiply the width by the base and the height

Answer 8

Did you get that? I feel like these other two are trying to give you a hard time

Answer 9
