Question

anonymous · Answer

i got 16 sqrt 2 but its saying its wrong

anonymous · Answer

Well the volume is just the area of the base times height.

anonymous · Answer

well i dont understand how it would be in square root form?

nubeer · Answer

did you find the area of base?

anonymous · Answer

isnt it 16

nubeer · Answer

hmm no.. the base is like a triangle.. not square.

anonymous · Answer

well how would you find it ? multiplying length and width?

nubeer · Answer

hmm no.. area of triangle = 1/2 *base *height,

anonymous · Answer

so 8?

nubeer · Answer

yes i think so.. 
vol of pyramid = 1/3 * area of base * height of pyramid.

anonymous · Answer

so 8 times 4 ? which is 32?

nubeer · Answer

i am not sure if 4 is the height as the diagram is very much titlted.

anonymous · Answer

well what would you think it is? because i can always try it and see if its right or wrong. it gives me another chance. but would it be 32 sqrt 3?

nubeer · Answer

how you got this answer?

anonymous · Answer

32 from the area and 3 because of 1/3
actually im not sure im really confused

nubeer · Answer

hmm no dont think so it should be 32/3 then

anonymous · Answer

okay then what ?

nubeer · Answer

i think this should e the volume of pyramid.

anonymous · Answer

32 sqrt 3?

nubeer · Answer

noo.. how you get square root.. i never get square root..
i got 32/3

anonymous · Answer

well the answer format has this |dw:1353832060046:dw|

nubeer · Answer

hmm then we made some mistake earlier.. i think probably should be height or the area of base.

anonymous · Answer

i dont know what to do :(

nubeer · Answer

hmm ask someone else.

anonymous · Answer

like? ive been asking this for the whole day

nubeer · Answer

just tag people .. ask Hatrn or any other moderator.
