Question

Find the volume of the square pyramid shown. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Volume of a pyrmid is given by the formula: Volume = (1/3)*(area of the base)*(height)

since this is a square pyrmid, the area of the base is 24x24.
to find height, you'll need to solve the equation given by the pythagorean theorem because the slant height is given: 12^2 + h^2 = 15^2.

once you get the height, you can then calculate the volume using the formula given above.
