Answer 1

The volume of regular pyramid is
V = (1/3)*b*h

where b is area of the base
and h is the height of the pyramid

Answer 2

how would i go about finding the area of the base?

Answer 3

well its a regular hexagon right?

Answer 4

a regular hexagon with sides length 4

has the same area as 6 equilateral triangles sides length 4

Answer 5

do you know how to find the area of a equilateral triangle ?

Answer 6

nope. im clueless to be honest.

Answer 7

does it help to know that the angles in an equilateral triangle are 60°?

Answer 8

uh. nope. ha. like i said, i have no idea what im doing. you're going to have to walk me through this or just explain the answer to me, like how you got it. D:

Answer 9

the draw tool is not working today so this will be hard

maybe look at this page

Answer 10

when you have worked of the area of the equilateral triangle multiply by 6 to get the area of the base.

next you will have to try a similar method to work out the height of the pyramid

(this whole problem isn't simple, but the step are not too complicated )

Answer 11

uhhg theres just too many steps and theres a lot of questions like this D: i dont think ill have enough time
