Find the volume of a square pyramid with base edges 4 ft. and height 15 ft.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Use volume = Area of base * height /3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the area of base?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

What's the area of a square with side =4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Correct!

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Now can you find the volume?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 80?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

That is correct! Good job! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks! :) so the answer would be 40π m^3?

You have probably confused with another problem. This problem is in feet, and has no pi involved. 80 cubic feet would be the answer.
