Question

Find the volume of a pyramid which has a square base of 10 inches and a height of 24 inches.

Answer 1

The volume of a pyramid is the same as that of a triangle, B * H * 1/2. Just more complex. Since its a three dimensional figure, we will have to do a little bit more.

Answer 2

Because the base of this pyramid is squared, we must find the square root (oh nvm, we dont.)

Answer 3

what did you come up with?

Answer 4

Um, Ok, any how, we will do this step by step, so firts we have a sqaure base of ten, so our base is given, and now we multiply by the height.

Answer 5

oh, I came up with 120. in

Answer 6

yea 24*10/1.5

Answer 7

hmm mmhhh. Any more help? multiplying by 0.5 (one half) is the same as dividing by 2.

Answer 8

oh, 1 third, sorry, my bad...

Answer 9

so, we actually multiply by 1 third! which by the way we can do by 12 * 24 * 0.3. Actually multiplying those will give us the answer, which is 72.0

Answer 10

86.3

Answer 11

Peace! hoped I helped!
