Question

Find the volume of this oblique pyramid.

Answer 1

Oblique means that the pyramid does not stand up straight.

The formula is:

V = (1/3) * B * h where B is the area of the base and height is the height.

Answer 2

1/3*15*12?

Answer 3

V = (1/3) * B * h
V = (1/3) * (15*14)*12
V = ? ------------------------------? B is for area of base so you need to have 15*14 as your base area. I'm taking the base to be a rectangle. In 3-D, the big B symbol means area of the polygon base.

In 2-D, with a lower case b, b just means a segment. The confusion is that both b and B are called base.

Answer 4

840 cubic units is my answer.

Answer 5

That is what I got.
